The Elf on the Shelf Girl Light, Red and White

We LOVE the elf at our house! So much fun and just adds all the Christmas magic! If you’re on the fence just go for it! Brings so much joy to the kids!

we had a lot of fun with her. planning on getting accessories for next year.

It’s a very cute elf, although there are only 4 options, no blonde elves to look like my kids. Also, the elf is pretty flimsy so you can’t pose it very easily, and it falls over if you don’t prop it up against something. The book and story were cute, and the website offers printable adoption certificates and a letter from Santa, so it makes the whole adoption process seem more real and magical. The kids love it, but it’s kind of a pain for the parents. I ended up buying a separate “Elf Doctor” surgery kit to conduct my own surgery on the elf to make her bendable and pose-able. Kind of a lot of work. Wish they just made the elf bendable and pose-able from the beginning! It would make the parents’ job much easier! Also, since the elf is mass produced, the kids notice when the same-looking elf is at the store, another kid’s house, their school, activity facilities, etc., so be ready to explain why (maybe she is your elf’s twin?). But the kids are having fun with it, so there’s that.

Be prepared to get an elf with no feet. My granddaughter noticed this and felt very sorry for him. The book cover shows an elf with pointy feet, however, the pictures in the description show a footless elf (so it is not a defect). For the price, this cute little elf should have pointy feet at the end of his dangly legs! It looks odd being footless. (We plan to set out a little pair of elf shoes for him.)

Such a fun time doing this for my kids

Super cute elf!! Every kid should have of course haha!! It was a bit pricey.

I have not used this product yet but plan to use it next Christmas. It is an Elf on the Shelf and came in a nice box with book, looks like a quality product and I expect my kids will be very excited for this next year.

Delivery was quick. I liked the book and story, and links to their online story boards. The kids enjoyed looking for our Fred the elf. You even get to name them. It was fun.

Perfect purchase for my 7 yr old! He loved his elf and does so good during Christmas time with him!

doesn’t come with the white skirt you see on the box
