I know there are Elf On The Shelf traditionalists out there who use the Elf to decide whether their child is going to be on Santa’s Naughty or Nice list, but around these parts we’ve given that whole concept a miss.
Instead, we’ve decided to have a bit of fun with Pixie and her creepy eyes. Read all about her arrival AND borderline creepy eyes right here
5 Funny Elf on the Shelf Ideas
If you’d like to have a bit of Elf on the Shelf fun at your place too, here are a 5 funny things that Pixie has got up to so far since she arrived at our place. Is your Elf as cheeky as ours?
1. Going on a toilet roll ride down the stairs.
This one is so easy to do! Just shove your Elf into a toilet roll and throw it (gently) down the stairs….
2. Set your Elf On The Shelf up with an online shopping account.
Please excuse Pixie’s odd hand position in this one. It was only Day 2 of having her at our place and I hadn’t realised I needed to snip her little mittens apart! I’m pleased to report that the Mitten Crisis was solved the following day.
2. Getting a bit cheeky (see what I did there?!) with the photocopier.
3. Tinsel Bungee Jumping. It’s totally a thing.
4. Hot Yoga For Elves. Please note Pixie’s outstanding Downward Dog position.
5. Take An Elfie. Don’t forget to hashtag it!
And that’s our first week of having an Elf On The Shelf done.

Emily @ Have A Laugh On Me says
Can’t wait to see your ideas! Mine was playing Twister with some other ‘mates’ this morning!
Kirsten says
LOVE that idea Emily! Might have to steal it for tonight’s EOTS antics!
This gave me a good giggle! Thank you 🙂
You’re very welcome 🙂
We have an elf but I keep forgetting to move him!! So stealing your ideas. Tonight is the night Zelph the Elf is making his first move!
Steal away! I’m sure Zelph will love doing a bit of hot yoga 😉
We don’t have an elf, so I live vicariously through your Elfie antics… I’ve loved what I’ve seen on Insta… The photocopier & yoga, literally had me laughing out loud.
Love that Pixie’s antics are giving you a laugh!
Oh i love these ideas! Totally borrowing them, especially the yoga one!
We’ve just started the elf on the shelf tradition a few days ago with miss 5 and master 3.
‘Jingle’ the elf is getting up to all sorts and were having so much fun!
I think the yoga one is my favourite so far. Very easy to do and a bit funny!
There has been some amazing ideas on Instagram this last week, sure to keep us laughing until Christmas 🙂
Yes! So many funny ideas on Insta!
Absolutely hilarious. I would love to get one and have some fun but I think it would be lost on the rest of the house.
I wish Will Ferrell’s Elf had been as funny as your pictures. I am impressed – not only by the photos but by the attention to detail in getting a photocopy of that petite elfin butt!
Ha ha love this we were only just talking about this at coffee on Friday
So hilarious. I haven’t got an elf. Yet. I’m sure he (or she) is coming in the next few years when my girls are old enough to appreciate the funny side and not get too creeped out by the ‘santa is watching’ antics. Thanks for linking up with my Christmas Link Party. xx
I love the photo copy one, might have to steal that, we are having a ball with our Elf this year. I’m worried about the morning he hasn’t moved though, there’s still 16 chances he won’t make the move the next day!
OMG, I didn’t realize I needed to snip his little hands apart….off to do that right now! Thanks!! And thanks to you the first day we had him he photocopied his bum too – loved that idea – Tom said – “Look Mum he has faxed his bum – one foot is on fax and the other is on ok” ha ha ha
Snip those little hands apart – your elf will feel so free 😉
