One of the most fun activities for kids is using dot markers. They are not only fun for kids to use but they offer a great workout for their little hands! These Christmas do a dot printables will keep your young ones busy all season long! This elf kissing booth is a great idea and so adorable! Imagine having him setting up, with a little mistletoe above him of course, and greeting your guests as they arrive for Christmas dinner! Give him the latest toy catalog and let him work on his Christmas wish list. Just sit him down and he’ll find something that he loves. Plus, he just looks so happy seeing all those toys! How much laundry could a tiny little elf actually have? Well, he’s ready to use the washer and dryer, so set him up in the laundry room and watch him do his thing! I’ll bet you never thought of the creative ways you could use him, though. I mean, he doesn’t just have to sit on that shelf. There are a million, or in this case 60, different ways that you can decorate your home with your Elf on the Shelf. I’m betting that you’ve never even thought of many of these decorating ideas, and if you have, well there are sure to be some that you’ve missed. It’s time to really display that elf in a fun and creative way!

I love this white leaf garland and I feel the haphazardness of draping them adds to the fun. You can find this tutorial here. Put your little elf to bed in a box of tissues. He’s caught a cold! He’ll feel much better though once he rests on those snowy white Kleenex for a day or two. Prop up your elf with some peppermint scented bubble bath or body wash, and set him on a bathroom shelf. Who says Christmas decorations only belong in the living room. Bring some Holiday cheer, and your elf, to the bathroom, too!This year I decided to have some extra fun with our decorations and try and replicate the famous, over-the-top decorations from the movie. In addition to the personal candy I added an apothecary vase full of candy corns to the table with a small pile of snowballs for an after dinner snowball fight! CANDY CANES AND… SYRUP

The more fluid your movements with the pasta press, the longer noodles you'll get. You might want to have someone hold the press while the other person twists the handle. Refrain from putting pressure on the finished noodles or trying to move them around, so I recommend pressing noodles directly onto each individual plate for serving. Add Your Elf Movie Spaghetti Toppings I’m so into the Christmas movie Elf, and as most of you know, I’m obsessed with everything paper. So, it made sense this year that I try Decorating Like the Movie Elf. Photo: Mark Yamamoto Buddy the Elf crafts, recipes and more are sure to brighten your Christmas!

I love this one! Your little elf can rest and relax in his own little “bubble” bath made of marshmallows. What a neat idea for a Christmas dinner or party centerpiece. Kids will love eating his “bubbles” and you can mix small and large marshmallows to make it look more realistic.
