The Elf on the Shelf is Coming…


It’s the most magical time of the year! Unless you are struggling with the idea of your Elf returning. Then it becomes yet another thing adding to your holiday stress.

The arrival of your Elf doesn’t need to be something super stressful. If it is, you can check out my Elf Survival Post. It has 4 easy steps to make having Elf on the Shelf so much easier

Two things make having an Elf difficult for me personally. The first is remembering to move the Elf, and the second is coming up with easy, but still fun ideas.

That’s where this printable Elf calendar comes in super handy.


How to use the Elf on the Shelf Calendar


The joy of a free printable is that you can use it any way you want.

However, there are two ways I recommend using it if you are unsure how to fill in those fun boxes.


Use it as a True Calendar

If you wish to plan your Elf Ideas down to a specific day, then you are going to use the printable as a true calendar. Go ahead and write in the dates for December in the corners of the printable, and then add your Elf antics too.

This would allow you to schedule those easier Elf Escapades during the weekdays; therefore saving the more intricate ideas for the weekend.


Use it as a ‘Pick and Choose’

This is how I use the Elf on the Shelf Calendar. I simply record all of my Elf ideas onto the different blocks. Then I cross them off as I use them.

This way gives me more freedom when nights become busier than expected, or when I don’t have the supplies needed to pull off a planned idea.

But where do I find Elf on the Shelf ideas?


There are tons of amazing places to find Elf on the Shelf ideas. The first is Pinterest. Make sure you follow our Elf on the Shelf Board on Pinterest for tons of easy, funny, silly, and even sweet Elf on the Shelf ideas.

Another easy way is to do a simple Google search. If you don’t want to read through the articles, click over to images and you will see tons of Elf options.

Another idea is to ask your friends for ideas of things they have done in the past. Drop a Facebook post asking for help and I guarantee you’ll get some great ideas.
