I'm beginng to think a whole month nearly of Elf antics may be too much. When do everyone else's Elves arrive? I'd planned on the 1st but that means more than 3 weeks of activities, plus it's a preschool day AND my Mum's birthday...

Wow, I am loving this thread! I stumbled across it last year but it was about a week before christmas so too late to do anything really, and also, my two children were too young last year to get this.. so am glad I've come across this thread again in time to organise it all!! I have my 10 year old eldest DD that will be helping me cause all the havoc!
I have just read through the whole thread and have got some fantastic ideas from you all... thanks!
Our elf is arriving 1st December with the advent calenders. I love the idea of him arriving in a sledge or cardboard aeroplane - but where do you get them from? (I'm not very arty so have no ideas here on making one so any help would be appreciated!!)
I had thought of hiding him in the Christmas tree netting - but we are putting our tree up this weekend (!!) so it's too early for him to appear!
I've looked at a few other sites - one of them I looked had had a list of posts that people had done with their elves (I am trying to find the link to the pages... will keep looking and will post it on here) - one family piled cushions on the drivers seat of their car and stuck the elf on top on the steering wheel... and they left loads of food wrappers (macdonalds) in the dashboard for the children to find on their way to school the next morning! my two would still be too young for this one, but if anyone has older children then this might be good!
