Hello, I know Amy has complied a list for us on the first page for the elves, but I was wondering if anyone had any new ideas for their elves that have already been through quite a few of those provided. This year instead of our normal elf JJ Jingles coming to visit, we are having his three nephews instead. Triple the amount of fun! lol

We found some silly string in one of our local pound shop in red and green colour so looks like they are going to use it in the kids room. Also bought some red hair colour spray and some green hair colour spray because one night the elves are going to spray my hair green and my husband's red so we can look more Christmassy while we are sleeping. lol Also got some snow spray and will be writing the elves names on the kids bedroom windows to say they had been in there and maybe spray a few snowflakes on the windows too. Also Tesco a while back had their ready made sugarpaste icing on sale and it has four colours in there, red, green, yellow and blue and I thought the elves could roll these out and pehaps cut out and start decorating with a Christmas theme of course and get the kids to do it as well. We will also do the making and decorating of our yearly sugar cookies with them as well.

Just thought I'd throw a few more ideas out there for everyone as December is fast approaching!

Love the idea of silly string, am going to have to find some and do that too!

I like the idea of the Elves doing the school packed lunch too, fairy bread sounds like a good idea - buttered bread covered in sprinkles!!

I have also bought some gingerbread men & candy cane chocolate moulds for our Elf to do, I am sure he will leave quite a mess behind too!

Hello all, can I been added to the list now as our Elf has finally arrived and he is on facebook too! His name is Trumpy Frosty-Bells. Sorry if you find the name a bit rude but it did seem to be a fitting name for my family lol

I would have a look in your local charity shops. I picked up a Christmas teddy and rag doll for about a £1 each and they are so sweet

Be warned though, Christmas elfs are addictive and make your other half question your sanity :rotfl:

You can make anything be a Christmas elf. Last year I used a Snow White dwarf and jazzed him up to make him appear more Christmas like. Also he was the size of a small child and I put a Christmas outfit on him which probalby helped and sewed some bells on his hat and feet. People use stuff from reindeer to a teddy bear with a Christmas bowtie to a ragdoll which is spruced up by yourself. The options are endless and the kids love it now matter what! Welcome!

Not long to wait now until the elf mischief starts.

My 2 dd are so excited and are counting down the days until Binky Tinseltoes is here.
