    Easy Elf on the Shelf Ideas: Working Overtime

    If you need a cute and easy idea for your elf try the latest in our series of Easy Elf on the Shelf Ideas. I was also sticking with the theme of gifts your elf could bring for your kids to keep them busy as we count down to Christmas. Yesterday, our elf brought new cars for both of the kids and they played with them a bunch today too!

    With toys they love in mind, W and C love the toy work bench we have. It’s just a little baby toy but they both love it and play with it almost every day.

    So it was easy to pull it out one night and have our elf put in some extra hours making toys for the boys and girls on the nice list.

    If you don’t have a little work bench toy and think your kids would like one, it’s also a gift your elf can bring and leave behind when he heads home! We just got this new toy work bench (affiliate link) and my kids like it too!

    Or if you have one already, your elf could bring a new toy that he’s just finished making to leave for the kids! A little note explaining what he’s doing makes it all work without much work on your part at all!

    What toy would your elf make while working overtime?
