The holiday season is a time of joy for everyone and one of the traditions that is still being continued is Elf on the Shelf. On Christmas morning, parents are looking for creative ways to make the day more magical and in this article, we will look at how you can use the Elf on the Shelf to achieve this.
When your children wake up on Christmas morning,
They can find that the Elf on the Shelf has been very busy overnight. You can find many elf props and accessories from My Magical Moments and you can order them online which can make the process very easy. You can even create a Christmas scavenger hunt with the elf. There can be little clues or treats hidden around the house and this can lead to a special Christmas surprise. The clues will be written by the elf and this will guide the children from one spot to the next. The final clue will lead them to a new toy, a collection of gifts or Christmas breakfast. This is an interactive activity for them and it will also give a sense of adventure to this magical morning. You can have a North Pole breakfast arranged as well. This will be a festive breakfast table that the elf has prepared for the family. There can be Christmas themed décor on the table such as red and green accents of cups, plates, napkins etc.
There can be special treats
Added like Christmas cookies, hot cocoa, cinnamon rolls on the breakfast table. There can be a note from the elf to everyone wishing them Merry Christmas. There can be Christmas themed activities that the family can do together while they are eating. This is a great way for the family to enjoy breakfast together and you can even add some new meals which you can say are delicacies from the North Pole. They can have inventive names. You can have a special movie or story time experience on Christmas morning as well. There can be a selection of holiday themed movies or books in a cosy and comfortable spot. This will have pillows, blankets along with a popcorn machine, notes from the elf inviting everyone to the Elf Cinema and plenty of snacks. This can be a great way to enjoy a Christmas movie marathon.
A heartfelt letter can be written to the children from the elf.
This will include the fun times they had had in the month of December along with the special message from Santa Claus congratulating the children on their good behaviour throughout the year. This note can encourage them to be kind and generous to everyone. You can even have a Christmas Countdown activity for the whole family where a DY ornament making station can be set up so everyone can contribute to creating their own Christmas ornaments. Some of the supplies you can include here are paint, glitter, craft sticks and instructions to make the ornaments. This can be then hung on the tree and everyone can admire their handiwork.
