So happy I found out about this. It was fun for the whole family. My son really enjoyed looking for him everyday. Our elf came out the day after thankgiving. Along with playing hide n seek the elf would do things. On days our son was very naughty the elf would be naughty too... One night the elf threw my son's clean undies in the x-mas tree and around the room... another night the elf TP-ed his room.... we had a blast with ideas. When he was good he got something some mornings. Like a christmas book or movie. On christms eve the elf left reindeer food (oats and cookies sprinkles) to throw on the lawn before he went to bed. Now I have to come up with more ideas for next year!
