Funny Elf Ideas

Naughty elf idea – the sock-decorated Christmas tree

Naughty elf idea – the silly pantry labels

Your elf has “tidied” the pantry by giving rice, pasta and oats some very questionable Christmas nicknames.

Funny elf idea – the Christmas joke club

Your elf takes to a miniature stage with a homemade microphone, a spoon joke and a very polite audience of toys.

Funny elf idea – the Christmas traffic jam

A jar of strawberry jam blocks a little road of toy cars, and your elf is left trying to deal with the Christmas traffic jam.

Easy elf idea – the tiny peg crocodile park

Three little green craft pegs become crocodiles in your elf’s miniature park, with paper eyes, teeth and tails added at home.

Funny elf idea – the cardboard time machine

A cardboard box and a few pretend controls become your elf’s time machine, set for Christmas but apparently still waiting to work.

Easy elf idea – the teddy X-ray clinic

Your elf opens a toy X-ray clinic for a teddy, using a homemade paper coat and a chalk drawing that reveals an urgent need for a cuddle.

Funny elf idea – the tiny paper-cloud shower

One little paper cloud has produced a pretend shower, and your elf has borrowed a tiny decorative umbrella to prepare for it.

Easy elf idea – the marshmallow snowman workshop

Tom’s elf beside two three-marshmallow snowmen on a wooden table, one decorated with chocolate eyes, orange nose and dark buttons.

Two marshmallow snowmen wait at your elf’s workstation, with one decorated and the other still expecting its face and buttons.

Funny elf idea – the banana phone call

Tom’s elf holding an unpeeled banana beside his face as a pretend telephone with a Santa calling note.

Your elf answers a very important call from Santa using an unpeeled banana, with a tiny homemade phone book beside him.

Funny elf idea – the indoor kite mishap

Your elf tries flying a little paper kite indoors and finds that the houseplant has become an unexpected landing spot.

Easy elf idea – the North Pole paper basketball game

A cardboard backboard and tiny paper hoop become a North Pole basketball game, with your elf narrowly ahead of the teddy.

Funny elf idea – the giant paper moustache

Your elf puts on a paper moustache and confidently claims that nobody will recognise him, despite everything else being exactly the same.

Easy elf idea – the tinfoil moon landing
