The Elf on the Shelf Magic is something I never expected to be such a big deal for my kids, but it was and it is. I want her to hold onto that magic and that special feeling she gets when she wakes up and finds him somewhere funny. I know that my Victoria thinks of her “Elfie” as one of her top holiday traditions and I love that about her. I want my children to have those same memories someway, somehow in their own ways. These special moments made up the holiday for me and I cherish them. It was going to see Christmas lights on the houses. It was having a huge feast with my family on Christmas Eve and opening presents. It was dancing to Christmas music before bed with my sister. It was putting up special ornaments that had meaning and were super special. It was decorating our tree the Sunday after Thanksgiving every single year. It was going shopping with my Nana and my Grandma for holiday items. It was taking a day off of school and baking all day with my mom and my sister. When I was a little girl we didn’t have an Elf on the Shelf because it hadn’t been created yet, but it was the holiday traditions that I loved so much. The Elf on the Shelf Magic is REAL and it’s something that we want to keep alive for our kids as long as possible. Honestly it’s all about finding some fun and meaningful and special ways for your child to understand that your ELF is OK and coming back with powers. In the morning your elf will be hidden again! Leave your elf in the tree for the night to recharge his powers from the tree. In the morning if the elf is gone, Santa arrived! (You might even want to leave something from Santa behind.)Ĭhristmas Tree Magic – Your Christmas tree holds magical Christmas powers. You can leave a note for Santa to come or make a wish. Leave your elf by the fireplace where Santa comes and ask Santa to come and bring back the magic.
Leave By the Fireplace – My friend did this for her son and it worked like a charm. Let your elf “sleep” overnight and in the morning he/she will be hidden again. Take some glitter and sprinkle it all over the elf. Glitter – If you have glitter on hand at home, glitter makes everything better (especially for elves!). If your child does a good act or a good deed or pays it forward somehow the next day, it will bring the magic back. I’ve researched that the elf loves when you go good things for people. Keep your elf in quarantine for a few days. Put your Elf in Quarantine – This is something I never would’ve thought of before, but after dealing with this quarantine for the last 8 months it seems the most logical.
Let your elf go overnight and in the morning he’s hiding. This is an easy thing to do for everyone because most everyone has a freezer at home. Time Out in the Freezer – You can pop your Elf on the Shelf into the freezer for the night. Let your child write whatever they want to write, but let them feel like they’re able say what they want to say. Letter to Santa – Have your child write a letter to Santa and apologize for touching the Elf. We’ve done this a handful of times already. Sprinkle the cinnamon on your Elf on the Shelf and then let it sit overnight. What to Do If Your Child Touches Elf on the Shelf:Ĭinnamon – There are some incredible magical powers in this spice. The good thing is that there are a few different things to do if the magic “goes away” by mistake.
I wanted to determine and find things to do when it comes to bringing back the Elf on the Shelf Magic. I went online to figure out what to do (in front of your child) if they happen to touch the Elf. I know that I can’t be the only parent on the planet who has had this happen in our home. This post is all about what happens if your child touches the Elf on the Shelf. I created a fun 30 Day Elf on the Shelf Checklist last year for some extra help for parents. He comes down to make sure that everyone is acting and behaving well. Essentially we’ve told Victoria that Eflie is an elf for Santa. This is the 2nd year that all 4 of our sons are in on the Elf on the Shelf magic.
