The kiddos have decided our elf is DEFINITELY a nice one… but a naughty one would be more fun 🙂

Freddie seems to get away with EVERYTHING in our house. Hubby feels that Freddie should be a good elf, and I feel that a naughty elf is more fun. I haven’t had a fail with the kids yet… I’m sure that it will be coming really soon though.

When they’re three, you really don’t need to do all of the prep work. Toddlers just love the idea that the elf moves throughout the house and that it’s a game to find him/her. It’s when they hit preschool that the GAME is ON! 🙂

At least you kids know the rules. 🙂 We have an elf, but my daughter is only two, so she doesn’t “get” it. We will start to move Ms. Elf around next year. I am worried about having to remember to do it, but my husband has already been coming up with ideas, so I think I will leave it up to him!

Hope you guys had a wonderful Christmas! 🙂

Ah. Your heart was in the right place. 4-year-olds just don’t get it yet at that age. I think I started working with my son when he was five to donate any toys he really didn’t need because there were mommies and daddies who couldn’t afford toys for their kids. The thought that there were kids out there with no toys made him clean out his closet!

I had the best intentions, but our elf brought a note saying that it would be nice to leave our 2 toys our daughter didn’t want anymore to give to kids who didn’t have any toys. The spirit of the season and all that. Well, my 4-year-old cried for half-an-hour that morning. “Why does Ella (elf) want to take my toys?” All the explaining didn’t help! lol! So much for the happy memories I was going for!

Ha! I hear from a lot of people that they think the elf is creepy. But if your toddler was as excited as mine are, it wouldn’t take much to get over it. The biggest pain is actually remembering to move the darn thing.

I’m kind of happy, though, that this phenomenon only became popular once my kids were too old for it. I get easily creeped out by dolls and can’t imagine the nightmares I’d have over this one watching us!
