Elf On The Shelf Christmas Countdown
These super cute printable notes will help your little one count down the last twelve days of Christmas!
Each note shows how many days are left until the big holiday and features elves in a variety of funny poses.
They are beautifully colorful to bring the holiday season to your family in style!
How To Use These Elf Notes
There are variety of ways to use these elf notes. You can use them in combination with your child’s elf or on their own.
I like to print them out ahead of time and have them at the ready, especially for those nights when my brain has completely spaced doing any elf decorating for the next day!
If you plan ahead, you can create specific themes around each note.
For example, if you have had a day where it looked like your little ones struggled with not touching the elf, you can have a friendly reminder of what happens if they touch the elf.
You could also use the notes to remind your children about things like writing a letter to Santa and no fighting!
In addition to that, the notes are a great way to convey messages from the elf to your little ones like how well behaved they were or a good reason why the elf didn’t move!
Even the best of parents need a break every now and then!

While elf on the shelf can be a lot of work (especially in the evening when you just want to take a break!) it is also such a lovely way to preserve some Christmas magic for kids!
As a many year veteran of this preservation fun, I would advise to have at least a little bit of a plan.
The holiday season can get very busy and can run more smoothly if you have taken some time to get organized.
On the other hand, do not feel bad if your way is to wing it at the last minute. Some of our best and funniest ideas have come from having to wing it!
No matter how you choose to work on the elf on the shelf project, always remember who you are doing this for.
There is nothing quite as beautiful as the sparkle on the smiling faces of your kids when they wake up each morning to their elf and its antics!

Remember that you helped do that and take time to feel the joy that that brings to your heart. And, as always, you’ve got this!
