Before the adventures begin, we want your child to anticipate his or her Elf’s visit.  We have included a “Letter Regarding Your Elf” in an “official” envelope.  This letter lets your child know his or her special Elf friend will be arriving soon.  Please address the letter and make it noticeable to your child a couple of days before you want your Elf to arrive.

The first morning your child meets his or her Elf friend, place the Elf and the tattoos in a spot your child will find.  Remind your child about the Elf  letter suggesting your writing the child’s name on the bottom of their Elf friend’s foot. (This helps avoid confusion if there is more than one elf friend visiting a family.)  After your child meets his or her Elf friend the first morning, the 12 nightly adventures begin.

The Parent Adventure Guide Book includes 12 nightly suggested Elf Adventures (with completed Elf Postcards) that you can set up in 5 minutes or less while your child is asleep.  Also included are several blank postcards in case you’d like to create your own unique adventures.

When your child awakes the next morning, he or she will experience a “magical scene”!  The left sides of the pages in the Parent Adventure Guide Book explain suggested instructions for you to create your nightly Elf Adventure.  The right sides of the pages in the Parent Adventure Guide Book are the Elf Postcards from your Elf friend to your child.  The right sides of the pages will need to be cut out along the designated black lines.  Refer to the inside cover page of the Parent Adventure Guide Book for more detailed instructions.

We have also included the EXTRA FUN BOX.  The kit contains 16 preprinted messages and four blank cards for your own unique ideas.  Each card says: “I already have the greatest gift of all – I have the gift of:…”  The EXTRA FUN BOX can be used in addition to the nightly adventures, or in lieu of the nightly adventures.  You decide!  If you use the EXTRA FUN BOX with the nightly adventures, we suggest you simply leave your adventurous elf friend holding the box with a different note each day for your child.  Specialized messages can be purchased on website too!

On December 24th, your child’s Elf friend should be placed where Santa can find him or her.  Santa will return your vacationing elf friend to Lapland, North Pole.  You will need to hide your Elf until your next holiday vacation.  Please see our other holiday vacation opportunities and free printables!
