Elf on the Shelf is something many kids look forward to all year. And why wouldn't they? Their scout elf returns from the North Pole, plays funny tricks on them, leaves them treats and surprises while they sleep, and reports their good behavior back to Santa Claus. But, as a parent, it can be very difficult and tiring to "help" your elf come up with new ideas to surprise your kids with, especially if you've already been doing it for a few years now.

If you're experiencing Elf on the Shelf burnout and are in need of a little inspiration, you're in luck. Elf on the Shelf is making things a little easier for parents this year with their Scout Elves at Play activity book and tools set. In addition to 60 pages of fun ideas, you get 15 elf tools to help set fun and creative scenes for your little ones every night. They also have a paper crafts book to create a mini world of 3D in your home, a decorate tape kit for easier and quicker scenes, and a balloon ride kit. Keep reading to see them all now, and happy shopping!
