Elf on the Shelf dolls have finally arrived in the UK, and this new Christmas tradition is set to really take off this December. But setting up Santa's cute little scout in a new position each day can get a bit grating after the first few days of December.

To keep things fun for both you and your kiddos, check out some of these hilarious Elf on the Shelf ideas that will help get you through to Christmas with the whole family giggling.
