I’ll miss all the Elfie fun from this year, but I’m glad to get my nights back for Netflix…and sleep!! I posted each day of Elfie on my social media pages, but here the highlight reel of Elfie’s antics for 2017!
Day #1 – Hi Elfie!
Look who’s back from the North Pole!! There are going to be 2 very excited boys in the morning!! We started this tradition last year but they were still a little young to appreciate it, this year will be the first time they will truly enjoy the spirit and magic of Christmas!
Day #2 – Elfie’s Shrinking Machine
Day #3 – Elfie’s Ball Pit (I was out all day/night so this was an easy one to put together!)
Day #4 – Crossfit Elfie
Day #5 – May the force be with you (the boys LOVE Star Wars!)
Day #6 – Skittle Rainbow (before and after pic)
I did a trial run before the boys got to do this in the morning! (I removed the ‘after’ example so it took them by suprise)
Tips:
- Make sure all the Skittles are touching
- Use warm water and add just enough water for it to touch the Skittles (don’t add too much water or the colours will run into each other and goes brown in a few minutes)
Day #7 – Teenage Mutant Ninja Elfie
Day #8 – Elfie’s Ginger Bread House
Day #9 & #10 – Elfie’s Magic Eggs
Elfie’s magic dust is made of rainbow sprinkles and glitter. I was going to use the standard Kinder Suprise eggs which are the same size as a normal egg but I couldn’t resist these huge Christmas Kinder Suprise ones! It is an easy one to switch over the next night!
Day #11 – Meet Frosty!
Craft paper cutouts and tissue paper for the scarf/hat. The hardest part of this was cleaning all the magnets/coupons/letters/photos/cards off the fridge!
Day #12 – Day Spa
All these magic tricks topped with Frosty appearing the night before was hard work! Time for Elfie to relax in a nice bubble bath, complete with Elfie sized body wash, candle, shot of milk and mini oreos.
Day #13 – Wrecking Ball 2.0
This was an encore from my 2016 fave! Last year I used a clear bauble filled with M & M’s. This year I used a Cadbury Snowbites ball. The boys had so much fun with this wrecking ball! See wrecking ball video HERE.
Day #14 & #15 – Elfie’s Magic Seeds
The soil was made of white sugar topped with sprinkles. I put it in cups for some depth so the Candy Canes can stay upright when ‘planted’. The Tic Tac’s are Candy Cane flavoured ones (but you could use red or white ones). I love these 2 day things as the 2nd night you just need to plant the Candy Canes!
Day #16 – Toilet Paper Tree
Day #17 – Do you want to build a snowman?
This was one of the boys’ FAVOURITE Elfie moments with this sensory play complete with Play Snow! It looks like snow, and can be moulded into fun little shapes! CLICK HERE for the easy Play Snow recipe!
Day #18 – Game of Thrones
Have you G.O.T the Christmas spirit?
Day #19 – Hammock Life
Elfie needs a lie down and cocktail with all this flying to and from Santa every night!
Day #20 – Elfie the Magician – the ‘cutting Hulk in half’ trick!
No sawing or cutting involved, just pure Elf *magic*!
Day #21 – Where’s Elfie?
Day #22 – Elfie vs Spiderman
NOTE: This is what a whole packet of dental floss looks like!! (this took about an hour to do!)
Day #23 – Transformers: Elfie in Disguise
This was a combined daddy and mummy effort and was one of the boys’ fave Elfie moments!!
Day #24 – Elfie’s last day before Santa arrives!
‘Hi Ethan and Harley!
Today is our last day together before I fly back with Santa to the North Pole.
Let’s have cuddles and take photos together – here is some magic dust to sprinkle on me so I can fly back home with Santa.
I have given your mummy the recipe for Santa’s favourite cookies for you to bake today to put out for Santa tonight.
Before you go to bed tonight, here is some reindeer food to sprinkle on the grass outside and a tray to fill with milk and cookies for Santa and a carrot for Rudolph!
Get excited, because Santa is coming tonight and you both have been good boys this year, and good boys get presents from Santa!
Love Elfie xoxo‘
Note: Reindeer food is oats, Magic Elf dust is glitter, and Santa Snacks board is from Thermoart.
Day #25 – Farewell Elfie!
