 Maximize your Santa leverage...Nov 20, 2010
By Keri Larson

My sister and I had an elf growing up who reported back to Santa on our behavior leading up to Xmas, and I wanted to do that whole shindig for my son. This kit is great because it comes with the elf that works for Santa, plus a book to explain the mechanism of how the elf system works (don't touch the elf or he loses his magic, the elf can listen but not talk back (Santa's law), the elf flies to the North Pole each night to speak with Santa and comes home to a new spot each time so that your kid gets to look for him each morning). You also get to name and register your elf--my kid picked Larry. This is one of my favorite childhood memories, so I like that we can institute it with our own son. It's a nice tradition, if you're into the whole Santa thing, and this book takes the guess work out of the back story that you need to come up with to convince your kid.

This is a tradition that will carry on for generations!Nov 19, 2011
By Sapere Aude
HOW IT WORKS:
The kit comes with an elf doll and a book. The book explains that Santa has sent an elf to watch over the children and the elf reports back to Santa each night. The kids get to decide the name for the elf together - this is a touch decision! You read through the book with your child, it explains all the rules, then each night you move the elf to a new spot. One of the rules is that the children cannot touch him - this is a great rule because although he's a sturdy doll, I think he might get loved out much too quickly if they were allowed! The author was so thoughtful to think of all these helpful rules.
Rules:
* The children cannot touch the elf or he will lose his magic
* The elf can listen to what the children tell him, but cannot talk back, that's Santa's law.
* The elf flies back to the North Pole each night and tells Santa what he has seen - when he comes back he goes to a new spot in the house.
The kids start searching for the elf immediately when they wake up! Knowing Santa is watching has definitely motivated them to be a behave a bit better! This cute little tradition makes the Christmas season more fun. It's a very special tradition in our house. I love that the book has an old fashioned feel to it, the illustrations are wonderful.
CONS:
* Your children will ask you every night from Halloween to Thankgiving when the elf is coming back!
* You have to remember to move the elf every night! Sometimes this is a bit of a challenge for us. :) However, our elf does sometimes just get comfy in the spot he's in, so he must have decided to come back to the same spot.

Our new holiday tradition, from an untraditional galApr 13, 2011
By Crusader Rabbit

I'm not traditional, didn't grow up that way and have not lived that way...however, a friend had this Elf and when I saw it and how much their kids love it I wanted one for my daughter and wanted to start this annual tradition. So glad I did. My daughter loves, Niko (that's what we named our elf) and would wake up every morning looking for where he moved to during the night. Keeps the parents on your toes because you must remember to move the Elf every night. We love it and so glad we purchased it. When you register online you get an Elf letter and certificate and Santa talks to the kids via email. It's really very cute and creative. The included book explains the story and tradition. Great find, and I recommend!

Great tradition to start!Nov 28, 2010
By sbuzako
I am so excited about our elf! We just introduced him to our family on Thanksgiving night, my kids (4,6,& 8)were so excited to meet him and name him. They love looking for his new "hiding" place each morning and knowing that he is watching them has really helped with encouraging them to get a long :) I think this is giong to be a fun tradition my kids look forward to each year.

 Great item BUT Amazon needs to quit sending out FILTHY ITEMS!!!Oct 25, 2011
By Chelsea

This is a great toy. I bought several of these and a handful of them came back super dirty and dusty. Amazon needs to make sure they are not sending out filthy items. I get that they have been sitting there for a year, but they need to clean this stuff off before sending it to their customers. I should not have to clean a brand new items when I get it. Other than that, the toy is a great toy.
