Even celebs are joining in on the fun Elf on the Shelf ideas...

Even celebrities like David Beckham have fallen victim to Elf on the Shelf and we love this adorable idea of floury Elf footprints leading to the Elf's first stop, to welcome in day one..

The queen of decorating and DIY also takes part in Elf on the Shelf but like the rest of us, knows how tiring it can be to keep up the bit so we love her honesty about sending 'Elf' to the North Pole to help Santa - we're stealing that idea for sure!

Among the Elf's other magical talents is a masterful sense of balance, as a KitKat Jenga tower can prove. Kids will be wowed by the feat of engineering — and even happier to sneak a few chocolate pieces off the top.

With that cold, dry North Pole air, the Elf has to keep up their skincare routine to stay looking so rosy-cheeked. Leave out a mirror, some cosmetics and a washcloth/towel wrap so they play around with beauty products.

Elf, that doesn't look like a nutritious start to the day! When they get the opportunity, they'll seize ingredients like marshmallows, sprinkles and chocolate chips to make a magical meal (and a bit of a mess).

Vroom, vroom — Elves at the wheel! This setup is great for families with kids who love to collect toy cars, especially if they already have toy traffic cones or road tape at home. Any Barbie-sized car should do the trick, but there's something festive about a red convertible.

Being a Scout Elf can be stressful, so it's important for the Elf to take some time to relax. Floating on a sponge in a bubble-filled sink is just the self-care they need.

Sugar cubes are the perfect building blocks for forts, igloos and other "snow" structures. (And afterwards, you can put them in your coffee — keeping up the Elf magic can be tiring!)

Good Housekeeping? — more like Elf Housekeeping! After rolling in the snow, making sprinkle-filled breakfasts and generally creating holiday cheer, the Elf definitely needs to make time to do some laundry (and maybe some other chores, too).

Do you want to build a snowman? The Elf certainly does! Marshmallows, pretzel sticks and chocolate chips are all they need to get started.

One of the classic parent holiday pain points — the knots in the strings of Christmas lights — can come for the elves, too. This is a great idea for right before you trim the tree, since the lights are probably already balled up in a box somewhere. (Remember: No touching! The Elf has to get out on their own the next night).

The Elf has been busy! In addition to reporting back to Santa each night, they've taken some time to box up and wrap some gifts. And maybe they've left something small for kids to open in anticipation of the big day?

What can these two possibly be talking about? Whatever it is, chocolate donuts provide the perfect Elf-sized seat (and the leftovers serve as a good morning treat).

The Elf is so helpful, supporting the students at home with good nutrition and words of encouragement. (The note says, "Good luck on your spelling test!") Hey, how did that candy cane get in there?

Do not disturb! It's a little-known fact that the Elf likes to curl up on the dining table, because they don't want to miss out on the festivities.

Glue a few candy canes together, and you've got yourself a perfect Elf sled! Then they can go dashing through the snow.

Yes, but can they ollie? The green pants included in this set are actually rigid, so when you put the Elf into it, the Elf can stand upright on its own.

The Elf loves to whip up some goodies in kitchen! You can re-purpose some of the toy accessories that are already in your house, or get this set of Elf Props to make it look like they're following a recipe.
