Wait, Elf on the Shelf Printable Notes… What Is Elf on the Shelf?
If you aren’t familiar with the whole “Elf on the Shelf” concept, these Elf on the Shelf printable note cards probably don’t make a lot of sense. So, let’s back up. Allow me to introduce you to the little stranger that’s going to be moving in with you and your family. 😉
Your elf is sent by Santa to keep an eye on the kids and report back about their “naughty” or “nice” behavior. If you leave it at that, the Elf on the Shelf can see more like a foe than a friend… that’s where an Elf on the Shelf printable note can really help.
Tip: The Elf on the Shelf printable notes PDF pack are notes for the elf to leave your kiddo while he’s staying at your home. These notes are sure to help them become fast friends. However, as an introduction, I recommend using this free printable Elf on the Shelf letter template.
There are a couple of rules that go along with the Elf on the Shelf; they are:
- He (or she) visits only between Thanksgiving and Christmas Eve. When the elf departs, by hitching a ride on Santa’s sleigh back to the North Pole, your kiddo might feel a little sad… that’s why I highly recommend you use a printable goodbye note from Elf on the Shelf (like what’s included in this pack).
- The elf can only move when no one is looking.
- The elf can’t speak to your kiddo, which is why he or she is communicating with the Elf on the Shelf printable note cards!
- No one can touch the elf—doing so would destroy his or her magic.
The idea is that Mom and Dad move the Elf on the Shelf around, staging him or her in fun ways, at night. Looking forward to discovering the elf (and his or her shenanigans) each morning becomes a bit of family fun that everyone will look forward to, especially when paired with the Elf on the Shelf printable notes!
