Is Elf on the Shelf a Christmas Tradition? 10 Naughty Elf on the Shelf Ideas from Freckles and Daisies.

The Elf on the Shelf is a popular Christmas tradition in the Freckles and Daisies household. Our 2 small Elf’s watch over our children and report back to Santa Claus. While the elf is typically well-behaved, there are also times when they can get a little mischievous.

We love our Elf’s Buddy Bauble and Jingle bell so much they inspired our Freckles and Daisies Treat Elf Print as below. The print captures the Wickedness, Colour and Personality Elf’s will bring to every family home this Christmas. The Treat your Elf Print can be made into many products such as Baby/ Toddler rompers, Sleepsuits, baby Grows, Bibs and a Unique Christmas Jumpers.

Here are 10 ideas for naughty elf antics:

1. The Toilet Paper Trail: Unroll a long trail of toilet paper leading from the bathroom to another room in the house.
2. The Remote Control mayhem: Hide the remote control in a place that's hard to find, like the back of the refrigerator or in a drawer full of socks.
3. The Messy Bedroom: Make a mess in your child's bedroom by scattering clothes on the floor, unmaking the bed, and leaving toys strewn about.
4. The Midnight Snack: Leave crumbs and empty wrappers around the kitchen to show that the elf has been sneaking snacks.

We love Easter as it’s a time for family, friends, and yes, easter egg hunting. And what better way to celebrate than by wearing fun, colourful outfits? We know your little hatchlings love to dress up and embrace the festive feeling of easter.

We have been busy for a few months behind the scenes to bring you some unique baby easter outfits. They even got shared on the ‘Mums to Be’ Facebook page and it went viral! Read on to find out more.
