The Elf on the Shelf® Santaverse™ is filled with kindness, creativity, and compassion. When it comes to kindness, none of Santa’s pals shines brighter than Elf Mates, enchanted elves from the mystical forest region at the North Pole. These delightful characters have been helping Santa spread goodwill for thousands of years, and they can inspire your children to embrace kindness through the power of play.

How the Kindness Challenge Works
Over the next 25 days, your child will choose one prompt each day that promotes social-emotional skills while learning the true meaning of kindness. Each day, the Elf Mates’ prompts will encourage imaginative play and encourage kids to look for opportunities to practice real-life acts of kindness.
Why Kindness Matters
Engaging in acts of kindness helps children develop empathy, build positive relationships, and enhances their social-emotional learning. The Elf Mates not only make this process fun but also reinforce the idea that kindness is a powerful tool that can change the world—one small act at a time.
