The Elf On The Shelf is the newest and most fun way to explain how Santa knows who is naughty and nice. The Scout Elf is placed on a shelf where he can watch your children play. Then at night when they are sleeping the Elf returns to the North Pole to report their behavior to Santa. Place the Elf in a different place everyday to make it even more fun for your little ones. The Magical Scout Elf will give your kids the extra incentive to be “nice” through the holiday season. Make The Elf On The Shelf a Christmas tradition in your house.
