Leaving a Couple of Friends Behind
Materials:
- Elf Mates Chef, Cobbler or Toy Maker
- The Elf on the Shelf Scout Elf
- Any spot in your home
Instructions:
- Your Scout Elf will invite a couple of Elf Mates friends to join them in a super scene, highlighting that even though Scout Elves have to return to the North Pole, Elf Mates can say all year long for hands-on play and imagination!
- They'll sit beside their Elf Mates friends the day before they return to the North Pole (Christmas Eve) to let you know how sad they are to leave, but that they're leaving their Elf Mates friends to keep the goodwill and cheer going.
- They might choose a shelf, a wreath or a stretch of garland to perch on with their friends.
- Then that night, they'll return to the North Pole, while their Elf Mates friends will stay behind to stay and play all year!
