For years, I have been creating Elf on the shelf mischievous ideas for my Grandkids; truth be known, it was for the adults, too. We started this tradition years ago when my daughter-in-law gave me the elf on a shelf as a gift to share with my Grandkids. Of course, I ran with it! Let the mischief begin!

*Updated post… Our Grandkids had fun through the years with their Elf. The Elf magic is no longer a thing at Grandma’s house but I enjoyed every minute of it. Happy, the Elf on a shelf now lives with another family, and the last I heard, he is still creating havoc and bringing joy to children in December 🙂
It’s All About The Kids, Right?
Our son is a football coach, and I’m pretty sure this was his idea of the perfect outfit for our little Elf. Notice the football jersey he’s sporting?
I think next year I will be ordering Happy a new outfit. I found these on Amazon. CLICK HERE to see more outfit ideas.
We start posing and photographing the magical elf the day after Thanksgiving. I just had to add a little Thanksgiving Turkey humor for the grown-up kiddos.
Elf on a Shelf also comes in a girls’ version; you can choose different colored eyes and skin for your elf.

LOL, don’t say I didn’t warn you! This Elf doll is for adult humor only. But he is the life of the party!

Can We Call This Spooning?
Elf on the shelf mischievous ideas can be easy when you think outside of the box. Add your cheeky little Elf to your silverware organizer.
The kiddos just think it’s funny, but we adults know all about spooning. hee hee
Not The BANANA!
Lord forbid we leave a Sharpie marker out! It’s funny faces for everyone! Not even the bananas are safe.
It appears Happy had a little help from the minions on the kitchen counter with this one. No bananas were injured during this little stunt.
All Aboard The North Pole Train
All aboard the SHOE SHOE train! I warned you. This is a great last-minute, easy Elf idea.
It’s my weird sense of humor. I’ll never grow up! I love coming up with these funny elf ideas.
Stay Out Of The Kitchen
Stop SANTA! I want off! The kids laughed out loud when they saw Happy spinning in the mixing bowl. Sometimes, I have to send a video to the kiddos of his outrageous antics. Photos are worth a thousand words but a video tells all.
Kitchen Aide Mixers are a lifesaver during the holidays. Every kitchen needs one, and I love mine.
Stevie Wonder | Piano Humor
For once in my life, I have someone who needs me… Looking for easy money! These Elf on the Shelf mischievous ideas are getting out of hand. Ha!
Our Grands love plinking away at the piano keys when they are at our house, so I thought this would be a fun way to make them smile. The adults cracked up over this one! Who doesn’t love Stevie Wonder?
Here, kitty kitty!
With Happy the Elf around, not even the cat is safe. Here’s a fun way to set up your Elf on a Shelf for the cat or animal lovers in your home. Leave a food trail leading back to the feeding bowl with the Elf sitting patiently waiting. Oh, my word. Imagine the look on the cat’s face.
You’ll Shoot Your Eye Out Kid
It’s a MAJOR Award! I purchased this lamp for Mr. Honey Do a few years ago. He still thinks it is the best gift ever! And obviously, so does Happy.
Rated PG!
Syrup Sugar High
Notice he didn’t choose the sugar-free syrup. Oh, Happy. What are we going to do with you?
Q-Tip Art
It’s always fun to spell out a child’s name with Q-tips. A little personalization will really impress the older kids, too. Get creative with your message for Santa Claus.
Sprinkles For Santa
Even milk tastes better with sprinkles, and especially with cookies. Imagine how Santa will feel when he sees his magical Elf eating his Christm as cookies and milk.
You’re a naughty little Elf.
A Bird In The Christmas Tree
I added a little whipped cream to the Elf’s head and face. They say a bird in the hand is messy, but a bird in a Christmas tree can be dangerous for a cheeky but funny elf. Ha, ha, the joke on you, little guy.
Bird 1 Elf 0
Paper Towel Fun
~name that tune~ Roll On by Alabama
Sing it with me!
Roll on Brawny, roll on along.
Roll on Brawny till you get back home.
Roll on Brawny, roll on through.
Roll on, Brawny, like I asked you to do.
And roll on extra strength, Brawny, ROLL ON!
Weeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!! I should write commercials. 🙂
*No toilet paper rolls were injured during this stunt. LOL
Antibacterial Soap Dispenser
Wash your hands and say your prayers because Santa and germs are everywhere. Don’t be a nasty little elf!
Love, Happy xo

More Elf On A Shelf Mischief
Got Milk? Happy sure does! I found him in the refrigerator with my ceramic cow pitcher. Happy, you’re a funny elf. I wonder if he knows the difference.
Mirror Held By The Hand
A mirror, a mirror held by the hand… who is the fairest little HAPPY Elf man? Who needs a bathroom mirror at this angle?
Gonna Get Me A Kiss!
Looking for love in all the wrong places. I laughed so hard doing this one!
And The Prize Goes To…
Happy is baking chocolate DROP cookies. I can’t even find the words for this shinanigan.
I hope you enjoyed my twisted sense of humor and holiday fun ideas that you can use with your family.
We aren’t promised a tomorrow and I want to spend as much time as possible with my Grands, even if they’re not nearby. With all the technology available, I’m just a picture or video away.
Merry Christmas from my home to yours! Oh, and Happy Holidays from Happy the Magical Elf, too.
