You’ll save money and stress while the kids still enjoy the magic of the holidays!<\/em><\/p>\n Have you seen these expensive pre-made Elf on the Shelf kits<\/a>? 🤑 In addition to the steep cost, most of the stuff you get in those kits is paper, flimsy, and for one-time use only – don’t waste your money! This year, we checked our lists twice to give you an easy-to-follow 25-day plan<\/strong> of elf antics using only Dollar Tree supplies<\/a> (or things you might already own)!<\/p>\n Best of all, these supplies are versatile and durable so they can be reused with your kids’ dolls or toys OR stashed away to create new ideas next Christmas!<\/p>\n If you complete all 25 ideas below you’ll spend just $23.75 <\/span>or less<\/span><\/span> at<\/span><\/span> Dollar Tree<\/a>!<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n *Plus, download this FREE printable<\/a> and grab all your Elf on the Shelf Dollar Tree supplies at once so you’ll be ready once December rolls around!<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n What you’ll need:<\/em><\/p>\n I also used a skewer I had at home for the stick (Optional<\/em>: skewer, pencil, popsicle stick, etc.), but you could also tie the string directly to the Elf’s hand if you don’t have a ‘stick’.<\/p>\n What you’ll need:<\/em><\/p>\n What you’ll need:<\/em><\/p>\n What you’ll need:<\/em><\/p>\n Need help making this ‘kiss’ shape?<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Try using a small round Tupperware lid as the kiss base. Then wrap your elf in a seated position, place on the lid, and shape the aluminum foil as needed.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n What you’ll need:<\/em><\/p>\n What you’ll need:<\/em><\/p>\n What you’ll need:<\/em><\/p>\n What you’ll need:<\/em><\/p>\n What you’ll need:<\/em><\/p>\n Have some leftover wrapping paper from last year? Make this easy ski ramp from the cabinets to the countertop! You can have the Elf slide down on just its knees (no sled) or use a paper towel, napkin, or paper plate for the sled– so easy & FREE!<\/em><\/p>\n What you’ll need:<\/em><\/p>\n What you’ll need:<\/em><\/p>\n Tip:<\/strong> Consider reusing the inflatable pool cup holder from the Elf pool party above for the Elf at the beach too! (There were so many cute options at Dollar Tree<\/a>, I just wanted to show a few, but you can just grab one!)<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n What you’ll need:<\/em><\/p>\n We love that with this kit you can reuse so many of the items because they either come in a multipack or are durable and long-lasting, unlike one-time-use paper goodies from other Elf kits!<\/p>\n What you’ll need:<\/em><\/p>\n How cool is it that you can keep these fun items once the Elf heads back to the North Pole? Plus, we can’t believe this doll jet ski that fits Barbie-sized dolls is JUST $1.25?!<\/p>\n What you’ll need:<\/em><\/p>\n Does your kiddos’ Barbie need a new BBQ? Look for this adorable grill in-store at Dollar Tree– the lid really opens and closes! I also made the apron out of paper and used my kids’ Shopkins (or other pretend food) inside the grill. The Elf really doesn’t have to be expensive, just use what you have!<\/em><\/p>\n What you’ll need:<\/em><\/p>\n What you’ll need:<\/em><\/p>\n What you’ll need:<\/em><\/p>\n Have the Elf put googly eyes on favorite family pictures around the house for a silly morning surprise!<\/p>\n What you’ll need:<\/em><\/p>\n What you’ll need:<\/em><\/p>\n We spotted these miniature Waggles Playground accessories in-store at Dollar Tree and could not resist the cuteness!
