Ideas for Two or Three Elves

More elves, more mischief! Our ideas for two or three elves are made for families whose Christmas visitors arrive with a friend or two.

These scenes give each elf a part to play: working together, staging a little competition or getting one another into a wonderfully silly muddle. You’ll find easy setups, funny surprises and creative adventures, with useful prop links and cheap or free ways to make them at home.

Use two elves for a double act or add a third as the helper, referee or cheeky troublemaker. Browse the ideas below and let the whole elf team join in. ✨
