Christmas gingerbread can make tempting treats or be packaged up as homemade presentsĮlves are expert wrappers. A midnight grand-prix against all the other toys, complete with a homemade black and white chequered flag, brings out the elves competitive streak. Weightlifting marshmallows with cocktail sticks or straws is one of their preferred winter hobbies. We could be a few years away from Paris 2024 but the elves are already in training. Despite the chaos the kids will love to see their school vests, socks or even the odd pair of their pants hanging from the the tree like icicles! Elves are prone to hanging some unusual items on Christmas trees for children to findĪn elf likes to help - or hinder! Be prepared to find them raiding socks and underwear drawers in search of unusual decorations for the Christmas tree. Think pancakes, waffles, marshmallows, hot chocolate, syrup, sprinkles and even the odd candy cane thrown in for good measure. The elves can go to town on the weekend! If you're family is lucky, they'll bring a mountain of treats from the North Pole for a weekend breakfast which is perfectly laid out on the table in readiness for the kids to wake up. The elves love a marker pen! Be prepared for funny faces on bananas, eggs or the front cover of mum's new magazine! And if there's any 'googly eyes' laying around in a craft box, watch that they don't appear over the eyes of granny in the framed family photograph! Treat the kids to a breakfast with a North Pole theme. Parents hate mess in the run up to Christmas and one thing guaranteed to make them angry is an emptied shoe cupboard as the elves, and the rest of the toys, snake their way around the living room in a train of the family's shoes.
Could your elf encourage a good turn or two ahead of Christmas? Advent calendars for children are particularly welcome in late November and early December. Before the children get an influx of new toys for Christmas perhaps your elf, with the help of an empty box, could encourage them to donate a handful of things they no longer play with to a charity of their choice or suggest that they help donate some items to their nearest foodbank. Alongside monitoring behaviour, elves are particularly good at encouraging kindness.
