The Most Epic Pop Culture Elf on the Shelf Ideas Every Parent Needs to See
He's back! Alfie, our favorite Elf on the Shelf, is up to his creative antics, and this year he's cracking us up with all of his pop culture references. From busting a move to "Watch Me (Whip/Nae Nae)" to sharing his excitement for The Peanuts Movie, this clever Elf on the Shelf certainly knows what's trending.
Michele Bell, a former first-grade teacher and POPSUGAR editor, is the creative genius behind #AlfieBell and constantly jots down ideas throughout the year. She draws inspiration from what's going on in the world and tries to use Alfie as a way to talk to her kids about current events and pop culture phenomenons. "I did a tribute to Nelson Mandela when he died, and it was a great conversation starter for who he was and why he was so admired," Bell said. Check out some of this Elf on the Shelf's most recent adventures here!
