Hiya, has anyone seen any elves apart from the ones with the books? Been searching ebay and amazon but no luck. Really want to start this tradition this year with my 2 wee boys. x

Brilliant! Thank you! That will save the rows when they are older and they both want to keep it (she says hopefully!) I wonder if it's the same book? Also says skirt is sold separately?

seen the skirts on ebay if you want one.. not sure why they do it seperately though :S

Thank you, I'll have a look! It's a shame there isn't more info about the girl, I've had a "google" but I might have to wait until it's released to see what you actually get and if you need to buy a skirt which if you did, would be a bit off.

I presume it's the same book but I don't know if it will be adjusted for the girl or if the elf in the book is "male" and right now I can't access our copy as the kids are in bed!!

i've not read the elf on the shelf book but i've seen the movie and theres a girl elf in that.. i think the skirts are white with red bits in, could always knit up a barbie skirt or even get a cut off of material and make a simple skirt up for it.. But i agree bit weird they don't come with the skirt isf thats the case

i have just found this thread and it sounds like really good fun, id like to join if thats ok? i do have a few questions though...i have read through some of the posts but theres soooo many!

i have a boy (nearly 6) and a girl (2) so would i need to buy them an elf each? wheres the best place to get them from as cheap as possible?

when does the elf actually come? is it the beginning of dec? also, how would you explain it all to the kids? how the elf got here, and why hes here. also all the activities listed on page 1, are they ideas you do everyday?

i read about the elf passports, how would i go about getting one of them?

sorry for all the questions and thanks in advance for any replies
