💡Helpful Tips
- For a more high quality you can print your elf on the shelf letter on heavy duty cardstock. If not, regular paper is totally fine.
- Check your printer settings before starting for best results. No printer? Local print shops can help (or Office Depot), and they are usually reasonably priced or you can check an online print shop.

Using the elf on the shelf really gets us in the spirit of Christmas and we are always so sad to see our elf friends go.
