Cranberry Bliss Snack Time

The Elf on the Shelf eats starbucks cranberry bliss bars in the kitchen while the children look at him.

Last year, I spent a day baking copycat Starbucks Cranberry Bliss Bars. The kids wanted Jolly to have one so very badly.

So I utilized their interest, wrote the note to them thanking them for their Christmas spirit of generosity, and got out kind of easy just setting him next to a bar.

If I had been stuck to my plan, they wouldn't have had this joy at sharing their dessert with their elf.

Chilling with the Remote

The elf on the shelf watches the rudolph movie on tv.

Jolly missed Rudolph, so he put in the Rudolph movie and sat back to watch.

Donuts in the Dollhouse

The Elf on the Shelf is holding a tiny box of pretend donuts and sharing them with the Calico Critters in their dollhouse.

Jolly brought a box of donuts for the kids, and had elf donuts with the Calico Critters in their Townhome.

I put frosting on the Cheerios and dipped them in sprinkles, it was super easy.

I used an Exacto knife to cut out the box template.
