We gave this to my daughter for her kids to enjoy the month of December.  What "good" little grandkids I have!  This was not only fun for the kids but the parents certainly got their fun from Elf tool.  Elf was certainly creative when he appeared each morning back from the North Pole after his nightly visit to Santa.  I wish we would have thought of this for our kids when they were small.  My son and his family have done this for a couple of years and the kids run out each morning in December to see where Elf is hiding.  What a great Christmas tradition for families!
