25 Elf on the Shelf Ideas for the Lazy Parent

I don’t know about you, but I have a love/hate relationship with our Elf on the Shelf. I love him because my kids love him so much and I hate him because he can be A LOT of work. There have been so many times I’ve gone to bed only to wake up in a panic because I didn’t move the darn thing. And as much as I love Pinterest, if you search Elf on the Shelf, you’ll likely see hundreds of examples that require way more work than I’m willing to put in. But have no fear! I’ve done some digging and rounded up my favorite Elf on the Shelf Ideas for all my fellow lazy parents. All of these ideas require little to no materials and can be put together in less than a minute. Lazy parents unite!
