The concept behind the elf is simple. The elf starts out sitting on a shelf somewhere in the home. Each morning, ideally before children wake up, the elf is moved to a different part of the house. The elf is posed in different situations, like climbing the Christmas tree or getting Christmas candy. Children love finding the elf and seeing what he has gotten into next!
