The Elf on the Shelf Girl Light, Red and White

This arrived fast and was packaged nicely. The hands are stuck together so we did end up cutting that so It was easier to do more things with.

For the price of this, I expected it to be flawless when it arrived. Unfortunately the box was dented on the corner, as if it was dropped before shipping. The book inside the box was also crinkled on one corner, and it was very noticeable. The elf is extremely hard to position and her hands came sewn together. If I had it to do over again, I would have just purchased it locally.

Love Elf on the Shelf, however how do you deliver a secret Magical Elf without it putting it in a Amazon box!!! Just in Original Packing with an Amazon label slapped on it…. Hard to disguise or make up something when your children receive the package from the doorstep. Kind of a let down. Thanks Amazon.

My daughter loves it

My aunt had these ( knee folding elf’s) on her Christmas tree and mantle when I was a child, so the elf design is not new. The scout elf is a cute idea so I got one after the holidays for my grandchild to give in 2023. Would expect a bit more discounting after Christmas.

Our elf came in so fast and in excellent condition! I love the book that came with it. My toddler loved sitting down and reading it & every morning looked forward to finding Buddy. Super fun activity for Christmas time!

I love that the elf comes in different colors. To see my kid light up when she looks for where shes hiding now. Its sweer

We misplaced our elf and Ive been so worried we wouldnt find one that looks exactly like him, but this one does! yay! Our daughter is going to be so happy to see our Robby come back this Christmas season!

It’s a very cute elf, although there are only 4 options, no blonde elves to look like my kids. Also, the elf is pretty flimsy so you can’t pose it very easily, and it falls over if you don’t prop it up against something. The book and story were cute, and the website offers printable adoption certificates and a letter from Santa, so it makes the whole adoption process seem more real and magical. The kids love it, but it’s kind of a pain for the parents. I ended up buying a separate “Elf Doctor” surgery kit to conduct my own surgery on the elf to make her bendable and pose-able. Kind of a lot of work. Wish they just made the elf bendable and pose-able from the beginning! It would make the parents’ job much easier! Also, since the elf is mass produced, the kids notice when the same-looking elf is at the store, another kid’s house, their school, activity facilities, etc., so be ready to explain why (maybe she is your elf’s twin?). But the kids are having fun with it, so there’s that.

we drank the coolaid. Just remember to move it. But it is fun and scared the hell out of my smallest the first night. fun for you too. 4-8 yrs.
