My kids are seven and nine and have never had Elf on the Shelf. It seems like you need start this before your kids can even read and to do it for always. I missed the boat on it a long time ago and thought the opportunity had passed. Then I saw the flux of ideas on Pinterest (of course) that show the Elf doing all kinds of wacky things and had to give in. The Athlete and The Princess are just on the cusp of being too big, but they have the best sense of wonder and enthusiasm that makes this perfect for them. We’re having such a good time this week with our new pal, Arthur and the added bonus of The Princess getting out of bed without being asked so she can search for Arthur is fan.tas.tic. And hearing her say the word "hilarious" is pretty great, too.
I hope your days are merry and bright, too!

I am soooo glad your kids are loving this!! Just proves that it is never too late for anything!! I love it. We got one too and I thought the same thing with my kiddos, but they are IN LOVE and fight for who is going to find him first. Isabella said it perfectly... Mommy you just have to believe!!! Love you!!
I have a 7 year old who already seems to know too much. I don't get into the holiday gimmicks either, but I am thinking this might just be a good thing for our family. Love the crash landing!
