Do you have an elf visit your home every Christmas season? Many families do;  it is so much fun, isn’t it?  I enjoy the magic that it brings to my children and the added excitement. That being said, it can be a bit stressful trying to come up with clever ideas all December long! If you don’t plan ahead, things can go way wrong. It’s worth the effort, but it can get overwhelming very quickly. But don’t fret. I’ve got you covered. I created a printable elf activities planning pack that will solve all the problems. With these Elf on the Shelf Printables you will be ready for a month filled with silly Christmas activities and memories that your kids will remember and look back on fondly forever!
