14 Elf on the Shelf props to add an extra sprinkle of magic in 2024

No Elf on the Shelf is complete with your very own Elf, and this The Elf on the Shelf: A Christmas Tradition comes with the scout himself and makes the perfect first night arrival. You can choose between a girl or boy elf, and choose between two different eye and skin colours. It comes with a storybook to read to your child and even an adoption certificate for your elf!

Our writer said: "We've been doing Elf on the Shelf for 6 years and it will be our 7th year this year. We've used 'unofficial elves' that haven't lasted the antics and needed replacing every year, but the quality of this elf is wonderful. I love how it arrived and can't wait to use the delivery box and adoption certificate for the first night in December!"

Has your child ever wondered how the Elf gets too and from the North Pole every night? The Elf Pets Reindeer Tradition is a great addition to your Elf on the Shelf prop, and is a much easier way of explaining how your elf reports to Santa every night. It's soft and snuggly, and even comes with a story book.

Our writer said: "I love how soft the reindeer is which means it won't get damaged by my two children. My son is always asking how the elf reports to Santa every night and still manages to get up to mischief, so this will be a great way to explain that to him"

This activity book provides lots of elf ideas for inspiration for not only this year! The Play Kit with Ideas Book also comes with 15 elf-size tools for you to use when creating your Elf on the Shelf scenes. You can reuse the props and create so many different scenes in each room.

One review said: "So the elves are on more adventures. These props are great for inspiring ideas. I was worried when putting the chair together as I had to push really hard to get the piece to lock into place, but the parts are really sturdy. I had some issues getting his feet into the boots, I ended up rolling his foot up and shoving it in, but once in it was perfect. I'm having so much fun trying to think of ways to use the tools, and if you can't think of any, the book is full of great ideas."

This Cooking School Set comes with 20 different props for you to create so many different scenes with your Elf. With a laptop, backpack, and plenty of cooking essentials, you can set up your own elf cooking school or even a little bakery business scene.

Our writer said: "You have to add stickers to some of the props yourself, but this set is really easy to create ideas with. From frying eggs to even working in the home office, there are a lot of ideas you can come up with, and I love that you can see some of the ideas on the QR code. If you get a little box for storing your props in, this is great to reuse every year."

If your Elf is going to be doing some cooking (or just making a mess in the kitchen!), you might want to add to your cooking Elf on the Shelf props with a chef outfit so they look the part. This cute outfit includes red standing trousers so they can stand up while they're cooking, a Chef’s hat and apron, Flour & sugar boxes and a bowl & spoon.

The Action Figure Play Pack: Snow Sports is great for your elf to play with as a toy, or even for just your child to play with! It comes with an Elf figure and all the snow-sport accessories you need.

Our writer said: "I think this works as a great little Christmas eve box filler, as a little treat from the Elf himself. It also works really well as a toy for the Elf to play with, and you can create snow ramps in your home or even set a car track up with the figures on!"

If your Elf is off to a party one evening, they'll need a party dress and this gorgeous outfit has been designed by Mrs. Claus for an elegantly timeless look. It features a sparkling green bodice, festive red plaid skirt and a delightful waistband bow.

One review said: "Our daughter is besotted with her girl elf and has attempted numerous 'homemade' garments for her visitor from the North Pole. She was pleased to discover however that you can actually buy purpose made clothing for your elf. And good stuff it is too. High quality and a good fit. She was thrilled to dress the elf up a bit! Will look to purchase other garments in the future."

With a magical heart on their collar so your child knows it's an Elf Mate and not their usual Elf, the Elf Mates Enchanted Forest are champions of kindness and are helping to spread Christmas cheer! They come with ear muffs and a scarf too so you can dress them up.

One writer said: "Really great quality, the glittery features give it that extra sparkle and help to make it stand out from our usual Elf. It's a great way of introducing a nice Elf if your child is used to all the mischief of a cheeky Elf."

The Elf on the Shelf Scout Elf Carrier would be a great way to have your elf arrive on December 1st, but it's also a great way for your child to take their Elf on the go. With a safety latch that helps keep Elf inside the transparent carrier, it comes with a carry handle for your little one to hold.

One customer said: "Little boy made up that he could take his elf to school and for swimming lessons - even gave him a ride on the back of his bike. Well made up he was" Another buyer wrote: "My son was delighted when he got to take his elf to school. Great quality and price. Definitely recommend."

We think this would be a great outfit to pop on your child Elf to replace the star or fairy at the top of your Christmas tree! The MagiFreeze Rainbow Snow Pixie includes legs attached to a stand so that your elf can stand up properly, a shimmery skirted dress and colourful fairy wings.

If you're looking for a fun way for your elf to arrive or even leave, the Personalised Elf Arrival Envelope is perfect. With the option to choose from an arrival and return package, it's easy to slot your elf into this fabric envelope. You can select a colour and choose a name to pop on your envelope too.

One customer wrote: "These are absolutely fantastic. So well made. I bought a red one and a brown one. Seller has great communication and delivery was quite speedy. I would definitely purchase from this seller again. Thank you."

With ten pieces of wrapping paper, the Elf on the Shelf Christmas Gift Wrapping Paper is not only perfect to wrap gifts up, but it can be used for some cheeky elf tricks! Wrap your little ones favourite teddy, their water bottle or even their shoes! You could even use it to wrap a little gift from the Elf themselves. It also comes with ten gift tags.

The Elves Behaving Badly Rewritable Board allows you to leave funny notes for your child from the Elf. The pen wipes off easily too so that you can reuse it as many times as you want to.

One customer wrote: "It's a good size. Good whiteboard it rubs off easily, so can use it again and again without the pen mark smudges. Adds that extra little touch to the elf on the shelf." Another review said: "Great for writing annoying notes for my daughters. Winds them up and makes me laugh"

Has Elf been working hard? Why not treat them to a sunny holiday? This Elf on the Shelf prop comes complete with a 3-position beach chair, beach umbrella, ball, sunglasses, boombox, snorkel mask and even Elf-size flippers if they want to take a little swim.

One reviewer said: "Absolutely wonderful. It’s all packaged so well inside. Now when December comes around I don’t need to think about what to do with the elf. Can’t wait to start setting it up."
