Hi, guys. Welcome back to my channel. In today's video, I'm going to be sharing with you what our
elf on the shelves have got up to over the past couple of Christmases. There are 50 different
things that they've done that are in this video, and they even arrived a little bit early this
year to share some ideas just in case there are any elves watching. I also want to say, if you
don't have an elf that visits you during December, don't worry. It's probably because you're so well
behaved that you don't actually need an elf to be watching over you, but my three cheeky boys
definitely need someone watching them and then reporting back to Santa as to whether they've
been naughty or nice. But anyway, with all that said, let me show you what they've done.
Our elves came back on December the 1st, and on that day, they actually wrote out in Skittles,
"We're back." The boys were so excited to find this message left for them and that they had
written this out. It was really brightly colored, and they also got to eat a few of the Skittles.
What about this? We found our elves wearing a tiny little elf-sized COVID-19 mask. He was
also sitting in a hammock, which was a mask and another elf had some hand sanitizer. This is a
new idea for 2020. Any elves watching, you might also like this idea. On the next day, we found
our elves with lots of red cups turned over and they also had a sign that said, "Find the hidden
treat." This was really exciting for the boys. One morning we came down to find that our elves
were trying to roast marshmallows and they left us the ingredients to make s'mores.
We had digestive biscuits, we had chocolate, the marshmallows themselves,
and they actually had a little sign that said, "Let's make s'mores." Then on another day,
we actually came downstairs to find that our elf was stuck in at the TV. It said,
"I hit the wrong button on the remote. How do I get out of here?" We don't know how he got in
there, but we managed to get him out. The next day he actually did this to one of our family
portraits, put little red noses onto everyone's face, and he also had a red nose on as well.
What about this? Once, we found our elves having what looked to be a full-on sports
day with some of the toys. They were doing sack races, they had bean bags to play bean bag toss,
and even what looked like a little hula hoops. We also found our elves once working out and
lifting weights, but the weights that they were lifting were actually marshmallows on a toothpick.
One day, we came downstairs to find that they wanted to play elf bingo. They had printed
out bingo sheets. There was even instructions on how to play and chocolate coins to use as
markers. I will link this game down below because I actually found a printable if anyone else wants
to play elf bingo. On another day, we found that our elf had actually made a little swing
out of a toilet paper roll and some string. Sadly, one day our elf actually got a well and
got reindeer flu. We saw him one day with a little blanket on, some little tissues, and some reindeer
flu pills for his medicine. We were worried that he wasn't going to move for a few days,
but luckily he was okay. Then this was probably our kid's favorite one. This is so cool. We
found the elves with a sign one day that said, "Want to see a rainbow? Just add hot water."
Obviously, they needed mommy or daddy to help them pour in the hot water to this circle of Skittles,
but when we did pour in the hot water, we got to watch a rainbow form in the bowl. This was so cool
to watch, really exciting as well. The next one that was really cool,
we found them with a sign one day that said, "Let's do a trick. Sprinkle some magic elf dust
and let me do my magic." The kids sprinkled some of those little sprinkles onto the eggs
and then we waited to see what would happen. Then the next morning, when we came down, they
had magically turned into Kinder Egg surprises. They had a little sign that said, "Ta-da," and the
kids were thrilled with this. Then on another day we found the elf playing the boys favorite game,
The Floor is Lava. He was up on a window to avoid the floor. It got our kids playing it as well.
Our elf was actually so naughty. One day we found him with nail polish and a sign that said,
"I left your dad a funny treat, go find him now and look at his feet." We found that the
elf had actually painted Daddy's toenails. Then the day after that, we actually found our elf in
timeout. He had built a little LEGO chair, was facing the corner, and had a little sign that said
Timeout, for being so very cheeky. One day we also found all of our elves tangled up in some floss,
and they had a sign that said, "Is this how you do the Floss?" We thought this was really funny
because our boys love to dance the Floss, and obviously this is not how you do it.
On another day it took us ages to find our elves, but when we did, we found that they were treating
our tumble dryer like a roller coaster. They were sat on the side with their hands in the air, so
we think that they were probably going round and round all night. On another day we actually found
them having a popcorn party in our microwave. There was popcorn everywhere. There was a little
sign that said, "Popcorn party," and they were just sat in the middle of all of it. Again, there
was another day when they were very hard to find, but when we did finally find them in the fridge,
we found that our elf had glued little googly eyes to some fruit, some milks and Tupperware, and some
sauces. We thought that this was hilarious. On a Tuesday, we came down to find them with a
sign that said, "It's Taco Tuesday," and two of the elves had been rolled up in a taco shell or
a wrap and they'd cut out little holes for their faces. Then on another day, we actually found them
making breakfast for the kids, but it really wasn't the kind of breakfast that we would
like them to have. It was sweets and candy and marshmallows, and they were sat on the stove,
stirring it all. Speaking of breakfast, we also found them with a Lucky Charms box, but they had
taken out the leprechauns head and actually put an elf through the box. I've also seen elves do this
with the Rice Krispie boxes as well. Once they had a go at even making a packed
lunch. They had a little sign that said, "I packed your lunch. I hope you like it," but it was very
random. There was Tabasco sauce, a can of beans, some treats, and a jar of jam as well. Then we
also found one day, one of the elves was actually making a choir out of our fruit. There were little
faces on all of the grapefruit and the bananas and our elf was holding a little wand, as a conductor,
and was I think teaching them how to do choir practice. We also thought that this was really
funny. One day we found our elf sitting on loads of peas, and he'd actually written out, "Oops,
I peed." The kids thought this was hilarious. Now I'll show you what our elves got up to
in Christmas 2019. On the first day that the elf visited us, he was sliding down our banister in
a little sleigh that it looks like he made out of an old ribbon box, some string, and candy canes.
On the next day, we found two of our cheeky elves with a black marker and a bunch of bananas.
They had drawn a little Minions onto our bananas. The boys thought this was
the best thing ever and they really wanted to take one of the bananas to school for snack.
The next day we woke up to find that elf had actually cooked the boys
an elf breakfast. This was the same breakfast that we saw in the movie Elf,
so this must be what they actually eat. It was spaghetti, syrup, chocolate chips, and sprinkles.
One morning we woke up to two of our elves having a snowball fight on our
kitchen counter. They had built little walls of marshmallows to protect them
and they were throwing small marshmallows at each other. The boys loved tasting some of them.
One day we came down to find that the elves had drawn on our eggs. They had written Merry Xmas
on the eggs, so because we had all of these in, I then made eggs for
breakfast and a French toast as well. Once we found our elf pulling a little
Santa sleigh of sweets, which was made out of a stack of chocolate bars,
two candy canes and a chocolate Santa. These were all Sellotaped together and then had a ribbon on
it as well. We've actually made these before to go alongside Christmas cards. They're really fun and
easy to make, and you can get everything to make them just from the supermarket or even Poundland.
One day we found our cheeky elf in our box of Celebrations, and he had been eating them.
There was wrappers everywhere, and he left a note saying, "Well done for being good boys,
take two chocolates." He also brought us a
really cute little Christmas tree with many decorations and tinsel. He decorated some
of it and then the boys decorated some of it as well. He was all wrapped up in the ribbon.
Then the next morning he left a plant pot out that was full of oatmeal.
There was a little sign that said, "Plant four chocolate chips and see what happens
tomorrow." The boys planted four chocolate chips, and there was also a few extras.
Then the next morning, when the boys woke up and came down to the plant pot, they had actually
grown into candy canes. There was then four candy canes and the boys could have one each.
One, we found the elves being really adventurous. They had hung a zip line from our Christmas tree
to our set of shelves and they were zip-lining across it on candy canes.
On one day we found that our elf had built a snowman
out of our toilet rolls. He'd added buttons,
eyes and a nose, and he'd written a little sign that said, "Do you want to build a snowman?"
The naughtiest thing that we found our elf was he once got into our Nutella pot, was eating it,
and then also a wrote Poo on our countertops.
You'll notice that our elf must have a thing about toilet roll because he used it quite
a few times last year when he surprised us. One day we actually found him sitting
on the Christmas tree and he had added a decoration of toilet roll all around the tree.
We also found our elves making snowflakes one day out of paper and using scissors. Luckily,
I was there to stop the boys from grabbing the scissors,
and then we actually made our own snowflakes as well.
Remember I said that our elves seemed to have a thing about toilet roll? Well, one morning
we came downstairs and found that all of our elves had got into the toilet roll and thrown themselves
down the stairs. I don't know if they were doing races or what, but it made a huge mess.
I think this next one is my personal favorite. One day we came downstairs to find that our elves
had gift wrapped our toilet. They had the tape, they had the gift wrap and a
big ribbon around the toilet as well. It looked so funny to see, and very festive.
The boys also thought that this next one was hilarious. One morning,
we came downstairs to see that our elf was having a poo in our sink. He was pooing out
chocolate drops, which the boys were very happy to try.
This next one is just so adorable. One day we found two of our elves having a spa day. They
must have needed to relax, because they were wrapped up in our hand cloths. One was laying
down with cucumbers on its eyes, and one was even soaking his feet in marshmallows.
Almost every year we will find that on one of the days our elf has made snow angels
from our flour. He must get into the cupboards, throw this on the floor, and do a snow angel.
Once, our poor elf got trapped by our LEGO men. He was on the LEGO table and he was trapped under
some string, which they had just put under each piece of Lego and then attached it to the table.
Yeah, they were all around him and they were almost holding him hostage.
Our elf must have made friends while he was here in December, because one day
we found him reading Christmas stories to some of our favorite toys.
This is the cutest thing I've ever seen. One day, the elves actually made tiny elf donuts.
They were so small, almost the size of Cheerios. They had icing and sprinkles and
chocolate on them. They must've been put into a little matchbox because they were so tiny.
On Christmas Eve, we found our elf in the bathroom. It took ages to find him,
but he was there with the toothpaste and he had written Ho, Ho, Ho on our bathroom wall.
Sometimes on Christmas Eve he'll also bring our Christmas Eve box, but it just depends.
But that is it for this video, that is everything that our elf got up to last year when he visited
in December. I hope you really liked these ideas, to any of the elves that are watching.
