Rescue for parents without unlimited time & money, but who love their child's delight at finding their scout elf each morning!

Reviewed in the United States on December 5, 2016

Verified Purchase

Do you love seeing the delight on your child's face when they find their scout elf each morning? Of course you do! But like most of us parents you may not have the time and money to create elaborate set-ups like you see on Pinterest and other idea sources. Sure, it would be loads of fun to create a detailed, fully-functioning Santa's workshop with half a dozen scout elves, but who has the resources for that? Especially every night for a MONTH?

This book and tool set is going to be a TREMENDOUS HELP. The tools are all well-made and sturdy. The 60-page idea book that comes with it has explanations of how to use each tool, how to maintain them in good condition, and of course dozens of ideas in collage format. I counted over 90 ideas! A small detail on each photo that is particularly helpful are the icons used to indicate two things: how much time it will take to set it up (either 2, 5 or 10 minutes), and which of the tools are required to do that particular set up. This is really helpful when you realize at 5:00 in the morning that you forgot to move your scout elf, and two minutes might be all you've got!

Our scout elf is due to return to our home from the North Pole any day now, and these tools are going to make it SO MUCH EASIER to set up cute and dynamic scenes to delight our daughter every morning. This is a very reasonable price, and with free Amazon Prime shipping it can't be beat. I am ecstatic to have this kit to help us every bleary-eyed pre-dawn morning that we stumble in the darkness from now until Christmas. I highly recommend this!

Note that this kit was designed to work with the recent scout elves, not the original/older ones. Some of these tools will work with either, but others will only work with the size of the recent elves. Please read the reviews before purchasing, and don't rate this excellent product poorly just because you don't have a recent elf.

The best advice I ever received regarding having a scout elf in our home: most parents max out at 3 weeks of doing this every single night, so if you suspect you may be one of us, you probably shouldn't start the morning after Thanksgiving . . . the wisest elf advice I ever received.

Merry Christmas to all!

Cute but a bit pricey!

Reviewed in the United States on November 4, 2016

This is a cute idea! I especially like that they have a book for different setups. I always feel like a bad mom compared to the ones that do very elaborate things with their elves. I don't have a lot of time and I don't enjoy messes so at least this gives me a little booster instead of just sticking our elves (We have 4!) on a shelf somewhere. I obviously haven't used it yet but the quality is decent and the ideas seem easy enough. The items inside will be helpful, I'm a little concerned about the chair, it seems a bit tall so if you have a top heavy elf they might fall over. We have 4 different elves, 2 are the original, and 2 are the new "fat face" as we call them type. They are very different. The first two are a bit more stiff in the middle so they are easier to maneuver, the newer ones are softer so they might have a hard time with some of these things, it really all depends. They also have some cards that have messages on them. This is handy since the kids know my handwriting I've never really had the elves write notes because I think my kids would know it was me. This takes the headache out of it, I can just choose a message and there are hangers or the elf can just hold it in his or her lap.

It's a bit pricey but then again, so are the elves at $30 a piece! We have also purchased the Elf Pets and lots of the clothing. We are quite invested with these darn elves! Hopefully this makes it more fun and a little easier on us parents with the ideas on what we can do with them every night when we pop out of bed just before snoozing off to dreamland in a panic because we forgot to hide the elves!

I'll post some pictures at Christmas. 😁
Last Christmas I ended up catching a cold and I couldn't move him everyday so I got up in the middle of the night and she had had an accident on his last trip and was in a cast and could not leave his chair for about a week. Don't forget to make sure Santa and some of the elves sign it I just took some gauze and a piece of tape wrapped around his leg and then I used little messages to the kids every morning that I could do cuz if you're going to hold up if he goes back every night you've got to be able to follow through with it and don't traumatize your kids I seen some of the videos that's just evil now your friends fine, children... come on now what easier way to get your kids to be good without having to yell at thim and make everybody's holiday miserable.

Sanity in a box

Reviewed in the United States on December 1, 2017

Omg! The elf adds just one more thing to our plate each season. I keep trying to think of a way to get rid of it, but until then this kit may help me keep my sanity. Cute tools, plenty of ideas and the book is written in a way that you can share it with the kids and it doesn’t spoil the surprise. It’s meant to be something the kids leave out for their elf (a box of familiar tools the elves use during their training at the North Pole). I’m not even sharing the book with the kids so he ideas in it stay a surprise.

Fun Options for Your Elf

Reviewed in the United States on February 11, 2018

A little pricey but so are most Elf accessories. Cute, versatile and well made. Our grandson really laughed to see his elf grapling hooking his way across the kitchen to get to the do-nuts. We did not have trouble with the boots sticking to our wall and holding over night. Probably depends on the texture of the wall. Loved the added options this afforded.

but I'm so glad I did

Reviewed in the United States on December 4, 2017

I wasn't sure if I wanted to spend the money on this kit, but I'm so glad I did! Not only does it give you accessories for your elf, it also gives you ideas and shows you how to use each one. I feel like I did a good job last year and didn't need this kit, but now that I have it I have so many more options and ideas when I'm in a hurry.

Exactly what we needed for our elves!

Reviewed in the United States on November 26, 2016

Verified Purchase

I've only used a few of the props from this so far but each time I have, my kids have gone wild when they found our elves! I haven't really used the book for ideas yet but looked through it and there are some pretty creative ones in there! Our elves arrived very early this year so as we get closer to Christmas, it will be nice to have a book with more ideas. So far, I am very happy I purchased this!

Great new Elf On The Shelf ideas and cute props to help you out.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on November 4, 2016

Verified Purchase

Great little set packed with lots of ideas for your Elf to get up to. Includes lovely props to fit your official Elf On The Shelf Elf and a book with inspiring ideas of what you can do. I did Elf On The Shelf for the first time last year and although I used Pinterest for ideas, it's taken away some of the brainwork for this year (24 different ideas to come up with is a lot each year). Ive given it 4 stars as it's a little pricey for what you get, but it'll be worth it when I see my daughters face every morning of December when she finds her mischievous Elf.

Not as good as I thought it would be

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on December 28, 2018

Verified Purchase

After having an elf for several years now, I bought this kit to help me in dreaming up some new escapades. While the props are of good quality, you are limited in what can be done with them. For instance, there is a lovely ornate, red and white chair but once you have used it to pose your elf readings newspaper - what else do you do? There is an accompanying book which supposedly gives you ideas for the props but in my opinion, they are all very simple and similar. This pack alone will not keep you going for the whole of advent, I wish I spent £20 on fun items from the pound shop!

Buy it. Very good quality

If your doing elf on a shelf I think you need this. Yes it's expensive as your looking at 40 quid if you are buying elf on the shelf and this together but the fun had with it is awesome. Really like it. Very good quality and the little snow boots with suckers on really does make it for me.

Great product

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on December 20, 2016

A life-saver on evenings where I've forgotten to move the elf and just want to get to bed. Looks really creative with minimal effort. He's absailed down cupboards and sat comfortably in his lovely chair in the kids book corner. The suction cups and hooks are great at suspending the elf from windows etc. All items are well made and useful, providing lots of ideas for adventures. It all fits the 'elf on the shelf' very well, the boots take some effort to put on but they look great and hold him securely. The book is great for inspiration too and beautifully presented.
