Pro Tips for Using the Printable Elf on the Shelf Exercise Equipment Props

For extra durability, consider printing the props on cardstock. This makes the equipment sturdier and helps it last throughout the season. You can also use double-sided tape to attach the props to your elf’s hands, creating a realistic workout look.

Creative Ideas for Ways to Use the Printable Elf on the Shelf Exercise Equipment Props

  1. Elf Morning Workout: Set up a “morning routine” scene with your elf doing some light stretching on their yoga mat or lifting tiny dumbbells. Kids will love seeing their elf start the day on a healthy note.
  2. Elf Gym Class: Create a mini gym space by adding a tiny towel, a rolled-up yoga mat, and a mini water bottle. Your elf can invite kids to “attend” the gym class and complete a workout challenge together.
  3. Yoga and Meditation Time: Use the yoga mat and the yoga ball to create a relaxing yoga session for your elf. You could even add a tiny “calming candle” or some “peaceful” holiday music to complete the setup.
  4. Elf Cardio Challenge: Make a cardio-themed workout station by using the dumbbells and the kettlebell, and add one of the workout challenges next to your elf. This could inspire a morning of fun exercises for your kids!

Variations for Using the Printable Elf on the Shelf Exercise Equipment Props

If you’re looking to add a twist to your elf’s workout scenes, here are a few fun variations to try:

  • Outdoor Elf Workout: If you live in a mild climate, try setting up the workout scene outdoors or by a window with a “view.” Your elf can work out with the sun shining in or by a snowy window scene.
  • Holiday Colors: Customize the props by adding holiday-themed colors or decorations. Use red and green markers or glitter to add a even more of a Christmas touch to the equipment.
  • Add Holiday Accessories: Put a little Santa hat on your elf or a mini scarf around their neck. Adding a festive touch to the workout setup makes it even more adorable!
  • Incorporate Real Exercise Gear: Add small real-life items, like a tiny piece of rope as a jump rope or a rolled-up tissue as a towel, to make the workout scene more realistic.

Common Questions About Printable Elf on the Shelf Exercise Equipment Props

2. Are these exercise props suitable for all Elf on the Shelf dolls?

Yes! These printable props are designed for standard Elf on the Shelf dolls. You may need a bit of double-sided tape or small clips to help the elf “hold” the items if needed.
