As most people know, it’s often difficult to find ideas for elf on the shelf each holiday season. To make things easier, I bought an online kit that had ”everything” you needed to do all 24 days, but it was awful. The items in the set were poor quality, and irrelevant for my daughter (had some cheap boy toys), plus no guidance on how to use each bag except a sticker with the number for each day on the bag. No ideas on how to use the items, and it was way overpriced for what I got. I only used some of the items during December, and I was severely disappointed. BUT, THIS SET is COMPLETELY different. Every bag is labeled with the day, so it’s easy to grab a bag and have your “elf” set up the items. But there is also a guide to inspire HOW to set up your elf’s activities, including when the elf shows up on day 1 and leaves on day 24. The pieces are great quality, too! There are even some extras, such as a little paper folding table for your elf and the MagiFreez Standing Pants! The items are either printed paper folding accessories or plastic. I was really surprised at how many items were full plastic playing pieces! You are getting so much more in this set than a bunch of printed paper cutouts. Even the quality of print on the paper products are very good and detailed. The paper cut-outs are already cut out, so you just fold them. The paper is very sturdy to handle the elf’s activities. You even get a Christmas tree that is a stronger cardboard material. The great thing about the set is that you are not limited. You can follow the days as shown, or you can mix them up. You can even combine accessories to make different scenes than shown. Our elf is planning on using some of the accessories from previous years to combine with these ones, too! It’s such a great value! For $40 and 85 pieces. You get a lot more for your money. I still bought some of the costumes, and other products that came out this year for our elf to play with, but if you wanted, you could only use this set, and be done. Some of the items are in other EOTS products, such as the sneakers, but even those come with accessories you won’t find elsewhere. Many of the items seem original to the set. Some of the activities are listed on their website which may have had printables. For example, the Brown E’s, which I had to print out last year. But here they give you everything you need, so you don’t even need a printer. It is listed for three years old and up, but I would say five years and up, as I think a three-year-old might chew on some of the paper pieces. I especially think that older kids would really love this, especially if they get “magic gloves” that will allow them to play with some of the pieces on certain days. (My daughter uses these gloves for days when our elf wants to play with her and change costumes-but only the elf can bring them out and put away-any gloves need to deemed magical by our elf first!). I am so excited for Christmas this year, and I’m sure our elf will be, too, having so many fun things to do!
