Fun Ideas for Using the Printable

There are so many creative ways to use your Elf on the Shelf mailbox and letters printable! Here are a few more ideas to inspire you:

• Elf Post Office Setup: Turn your Elf into a holiday “postmaster” by setting up a little mail station with the mailbox, letters, and envelopes. With the added tiny Christmas stamps, sending a few “outgoing” letters to make it feel even more real.
• Elf Letters to Santa: Have your Elf write a tiny letter to Santa! Leave it in the mailbox with a note for the kids to send their Christmas lists too. It’s a fun way to help your children feel more connected to Santa’s magic. I even have a Dear Santa Letter template you can print off to leave out with their elf.
