When I used to work in schools, all I’d hear about at this time of year is where their elf was when they came downstairs in the mornings! This is a great list of elf on the shelf ideas! x

In Denmark you have nisse (which is like a elf) & they will do small pranks & leave a present for kids every day.

I like your list because it doesn’t include a bunch of huge messes for the parents to clean up later. I never understood why some people go so over the top trashing their own house.
