Elf Shopping List (free printable list included)

Who knew Elves made shopping lists?!? Yesterday, we woke up to find our Elf on the Shelf holding a pen next to a shopping list he made. Apparently he likes sugar because his list included: candy, candy canes, candy corn, and maple syrup.

To print off a copy of the this Elf on the Shelf shopping list: click on the photo below, right-click, save it to your computer, and print it like a regular 8x10 photo. (I printed mine at my local copy store for less than $1.)

Cute, right? And if you are looking for more Elf on the Shelf inspiration, you can find tons of easy and inexpensive Elf on the Shelf ideas here.

What are some of your favourite Elf on the Shelf antics? My boys love searching for our Elf each morning and seeing what silly thing he has done.

Elf on the Shelf Magic Seeds... for a candy cane garden

Several years ago, our sweet Elf on the Shelf brought us a special gift... magic elf seeds. The seeds were shaped like little trees, and when we planted them in sugar, they grew into cookies on sticks. This year, Santa sent us a new type of magic elf seeds. These tiny candy cane seeds grow into a garden full of candy canes!

The little candy cane seeds were hand-delivered by our Elf on the Shelf in a little bag with the instructions attached (and you can download the instructions for FREE below).

Aren't these little seeds adorable? (They look a lot like Wilton cake decorations.) 😉

And they are even more adorable with this cute tag attached.

To download the tags for free: click on the photo below, right-click, save it to your computer, and print it like a regular 4x6 photo.

This is such a fun idea. It's simple, and the candy cane garden that grows is nothing short of delightful!

Do you have an Elf that likes to bring a little magic to your home? We are so lucky to have "Elfie". Elf on the Shelf really has become a treasured holiday tradition in our home.
