The Elf on the Shelf: A Christmas Tradition - Boy Scout Elf with Blue Eyes - Includes Artfully Illustrated Storybook, Keepsake Box and Official Adoption Certificate

Product Information

Using the elf in public school classrooms has been criticized for making children feel excluded if their families do not celebrate Christmas or Santa Claus. [11]

What happens when Santa discovers there’s not enough Christmas spirit to make Christmas magical? Together, Scout Elves, a slew of Saint Bernard pups and a big-hearted family change their community for the better and ensure Santa’s yuletide mission succeeds. Each night in December open up a little carriage in the train to reveal a miniature Elf on the Shelf surprise including 10 adorable mini figures and mini themed Elf accessories that can all be placed onto the playset mat to create a mini Elf on the Shelf Christmas scene! You can buy Santa's official Scout Elf now in time for the festive season, then all that will be left is to name your Scout Elf. Plus, there's a range of elf clothing, accessories and props (some of which you'll see below) that can help to create fun new scenes and moments around the home. You can also buy a cuddly, plush toy version of Elf on the Shelf for extra elf magic.This beloved family tradition has captured the hearts of children everywhere who embrace the magic of having a Scout Elf who reports to Santa each night during the holidays. This boxed set has everything needed to make lasting Christmas memories! The Elf on the Shelf was written in 2004 by Carol Aebersold and her daughter Chanda Bell. Bell suggested they write a book about an old tradition of an elf sent from Santa who came to watch over children at Christmas time. [2] Aebersold's other daughter, Christa Pitts, was recruited by the family to share her expertise in sales and marketing. Together, the trio devoted the next three years to promoting their self-published book and attending book signings and trade shows.

Hey, parents! If your discipline methods are as abominable as a certain snowman, maybe you can make up a story involving bribery to get your kids to behave.

While Bell says that "no Scout Elf 'idea' is too big or small," The Lumistella Company has created many resources to help busy families “inspire” their elves for a fun and happy season, everything from the Claus Couture Collection of elf apparel to the Scout Elf Ideas app. Elf on the Shelf rules Special cards like the Scout Elf and Reindeer Food advance your quest but watch out for Wild Cards that cause you to skip a turn!
