Clean-Up Card

Your Elf can encourage the kids to clean! This card reads, “Christmas is coming, and this place is a mess. If you help clean it up, I’ll be very impressed.” This is a great way to get the kids involved with cleaning and Christmas prep without a lot of fuss.

If you need more help with the kids managing their chores around the house, check out our printable chore charts and magnetic chore chart.

Scavenger Hunt Card

The elf has hidden 10 candy canes in your home. Can you find them all?

This card is such a fun way to get kids excited for the Christmas season. After they find all the candy canes, they can enjoy them, crush them up and add them to some vanilla ice cream, bake them into cookies, or hang them on the tree.

If your kids love scavenger hunts, don’t miss our Christmas Light Scavenger Hunt!

Decorate the Tree Card

Elves love festive trees! Encourage the kids to help decorate the family Christmas tree or one of their own! We’ve done a LEGO tree in the past, or you can fill a tree with homemade ornaments like these kid-made Cupcake Ornaments, Scrabble Tile Ornaments, or our cute Grinch Ornaments.
