25 Elf on the Shelf ideas to set up daily for your kids this Christmas

Christmas for many of us can be a drain on creativity but we always want to make it magical for the kids. If you're embracing the Elf on the Shelf phenomenon this year, you may need a helping hand with inspiration because we just know how many other things you have on your plate. 

We've got all the funny and cute scenarios imaginable that you can set up to thrill the kids, in one handy gallery. Some are from our very own readers who shared their photos on the Essential Kids facebook page. Here are 25 ideas - one for each day - so you can just do each one without having to think much at all.

Here's a tutorial on making your Elf bendable too - your elf is all the more charming if he or she can be moulded into human-like poses. Don't forget this Elf is a little mischievous too. The silliest antics will have kids of any age in stitches.
