I loved the snow angels the Elf made one morning. I’m not sure my 6 year year old was very impressed with the lightsabre…. One morning we caught him having a fight with a Stormtrooper. He changed the words on our light box to leave the children a message. He hid himself in a glass bowl of decorations, perhaps he was trying to hide. One time we even found him hanging off the top of the Christmas tree. He liked being up high, this time we found him hanging from the ceiling lights.
One morning we found him playing on the stairs! Eventually I gave up and explained that he wanted to come down! I used washi tape which wasn’t really strong enough so there were a few times I had to stick him back in place.
#Elf on shelf gingerbread house tv
The first day our Elf arrived and the children found him taped to the door of our tv unit. Hopefully they will provide some inspiration, whilst serving as a reminder for me of things he has already done. Today I’m sharing our 24 Elf on the Shelf ideas. This made it easy to find something every evening when I wanted to move him for the next day! I started a secret Elf on the Shelf Pinterest board and started pinning ideas I liked. This year I tried to be organised with my Elf activities.
I’m hoping they’ll always believe in the magic of Christmas, and if a silly little Elf is part of that so so what. My children are 5 and 6 so I’m not sure how long they will believe the Elf is real. In fact he’s a little silly and tries to do something different every day to make them smile. He is not there to shock the children into behaving. I see a lot of negative press about Elf on the Shelf and I’m not really sure why. He arrives on December 1st with our Advent crate and disappears on the 24th, leaving us a Christmas Eve crate. For the last few years we’ve been visited by an elf. Place scene setter elements around your gingerbread house to make a Holiday scene! If needed, use a dab of icing on the bottom to help your scene setter stick to the surface.Apologies, this is going to be a picture heavy post. Fold back each side of the base on the solid lines. Make a candy path! Add your scene setters to make this the ultimate holiday scene! Scene Setters! Have an adult help you cut on the dotted lines. Decorate your gingerbread house any way you'd like! Add snow and icicles to the roof with icing. Let the house dry a few minutes before decorating. Then line a strip of icing down the middle of the roof pieces and continue to hold until icing sets. Gently attach roof pieces to the house peaks and hold in place until they feel secure. When house feels secure, apply a thick strip of icing to the top peak edges of the front and back house panels. Adjust walls as necessary to make sure the pieces ore joined together securely before adding the roof pieces. Repeat process with the front panel and other side wall. Press a side wall up against icing strip on the back panel. On the reverse (rough side) of the front and back panels of the house along the edges, ice a thick line of icing. Gently break apart the pieces of the gingerbread house on the indented lines. Lay out the gingerbread house pieces on the table. Be sure not to cut the opening too large. To start the flow of icing, cut a small opening at one of the corners of the icing pouch. Massage icing pock until icing feels smooth and consistent inside.
