Magic Elf Key - for our "Elf on the Shelf"... including a free printable

Do you have an Elf on the Shelf at your house?  He arrives at our house on December 1, and it is one of our favorite Christmas traditions.  

I recently posted about a Magic Santa key, and I thought it would be fun to give our elf {"Elfie"} his own magic key.  I was totally excited when I found a tiny key, which was meant to be a necklace pendant.

(This tag is intended for personal use only.  Copyright belongs to East Coast Mommy.  Thanks!)

Cute, right?  I wrote a short poem and designed a sweet little key tag.  I have made it into a free printable that you can find here.  Just print it out and attach a split ring and a key.   (Feel free to use this printable and share it with friends, but I wrote this poem, so the copyright belongs to me.  Please don't reprint it without permission, and please don't link directly to the download.  Thank you!)

Now Elfie will have no trouble getting into our house after a long trip to the North Pole (where he reports to Santa on how "good" my boys have been that day.  :-)

  1. That is so sweet. Last year our Elf was sent back to the North Pole- my 4 year old was scared to death of him 'watching' her all day. Ha! But he will be back again this year- hopefully to stay!

  6. What a great idea! I've even seen people making little "doors" as printables so that the Elf can use those to go to the North Pole!

    Stop by my blog and check out my Elf on the Shelf shenanigans!

  8. Trying to be a more involved elf "mommy", I would love to do the Magic Key for our Sparkle this year. Would love to download your tag printable, but the link takes me to a site that costs. Any hints?

    Thanks.

    1. Look with the jewellery making supplies at a craft store. Ours was meant to be a pendant. :-)
