Funny Elf on the Shelf Ideas to Keep Your Kids on Their Toes All Christmas

Do you need inspiration to create new elfies this year? As parents, we know that it can become a bit of a burden trying to conjure up more funny elfies for your kids each day as it gets closer to Christmas and your creativity wanes.... So we've compiled some fun Elf on the Shelf ideas for 2020 that are surprising, great fun and really silly!

BUT before we show you the cheeky elf scenarios, it's important to follow the elf rules:

  1. Your elf should have a name to bring them to life more in your child eyes. For example; Dobby, Hoppity, Snowflake, Noel, Clara etc.
  1. Dress them up in new outfits, hats & scarves
  1. During the day your elf shouldn't move. The mischief begins at night when everyone's asleep

Here's our top 10 elf on the shelf ideas for 2020;

1. Elf on the shelf Quarantine 2020 Style

Your elf needs a tiny mask, these are made from toilet roll so there's bonus points for 2020 right there!

You could also write a note from the elf explaining that they've just come back from 14 days quarantine at the North Pole and reassure the kids that santa and his elves are all safe and healthy.

2. Elf on the shelf poo / sick humour...

Toilet humour is always a winner to make little ones giggle.

And so is a drunken elf!

3. Elf on the shelf Christmas Tree decoration

Hide elfie in the Christmas tree, at the top of hang them like a bauble. Surprisingly difficult to spot!

Or for a more mischievous option let elfie throw toilet rolls at the tree and tie up a friend....

4. Elf on the shelf in space

Ground control to major elf! Using some tin foil and lego, create your own Tim Peake elfie.

5. Elf on the shelf murderer!

Some elfies you see on the internet can be quite graphic how this cheeky little elf kills other toys, using ketchup as fake blood everywhere! If your child is sensitive, try this tamer option of how elfie sets fire to snowmen and watches them melt....

6. Elf on the shelf hides in the fridge

A classic idea is hiding elfie in the fridge whether you choose to put them in a jar, behind the butter, or amongst the veggies it all works.

7. Elf on the shelf on holiday

Its dark at 4pm and cold most days so like everyone else our friend elfie is dreaming of summer holidays in the sunshine. Decorate elfie to sun bathe simply using a child's umbrella, some sun tan lotion and glasses.

8. Elf on the shelf doctor & nurses

We love the NHS more than ever in 2020 and all kids at some point like to play doctors and nurses. Using some tubes or straws as props, set up elfie so they can practice medicine on another toy.

9. Elf on the shelf games day

Twister is the most fun of all games, getting tangled up at full stretch which is why we've picked it for elfie and friends to play here.

10. Elf on the shelf favourite film inspiration

Re create a scene from your child favourite film! This one was from Frozen, borrowing clothes from and combing her hair in the mirror.

We hope you enjoyed these best elf on the shelf ideas.
