27 Cute Elf On The Shelf Printable Props That'll Make Life A Breeze

You play the game with your child, and you might even watch the show on Netflix, too. Now, it’s time to get your elf in on the action. All you’ll need for this printable prop is to download the free image, grab your elf and tape them to the wall, and position the prop next to them. It’s a guarantee that your kids will want to play a round or two, too.

We all scream for ice cream, but your kid might let out a laugh instead when they spy their Elf selling a delicious dessert. The Elf on the Shelf printable prop, from Etsy seller SonoranPrintsDesign, is easy as far as DIY goes: just print out the prop on card stock, fold on either side, and voila, your Elf is ready to start selling. Best part: according to the sign, your Elf has a BOGO deal going on, which is pretty sweet, indeed.

Would you rather have year-round winter, or year-round summer? Would you rather celebrate Halloween or Christmas? These are big questions, and there’s no one better than your elf to ask them. Snag this free printable from Parties Made Personal and print it out on plain printer paper. You can place your elf next to it, or even put it on the table to encourage some lively debate as you eat dinner together.

This Elf on the Shelf dunk tank printable prop is an absolute slam dunk. It does require some building once you’ve printed it, and it should definitely be constructed from sturdy card stock so that the tank doesn’t tumble over. While there’s a seat in the tank, you might need to prop up your elf so that your child can see them — and pretend to throw a snowball to knock them down, too.

When your Elf has been behaving naughty, there’s only one place for them to go — to jail. But you can make it candy cane cutesy with this sweet (and free) printable. Simply slide your elf into the prop once you’ve printed it, where they’ll stay until your child bails them out. You can think of a funny offense to charge your elf with, like serving up “lemonade” that might be (ahem) another kind of yellow liquid.

Your elf is feeling very festive (and loveable) this time of the year. See how sweet they are by getting this cute Kissing Booth. You can print this prop on construction paper so that it stands up, and then cut and assemble it so that your elf can wait patiently inside. Add some Hershey Kisses to complete the scene.

Even though your elf loves their signature red suit, that doesn’t mean that they’re not a fashion maven. That’s why you can print out these cute shopping bags from the Glamorous Project. From the looks of things, your elf loves shopping at Nordstrom, H&M, and even enjoys a Target run, too.

Olaf isn’t the only one who likes warm hugs. Your elf will have a blast posing with this fun photo booth prop from Over the Big Moon. They can pretend to be Sven dreaming of carrots, Kristoff questioning who smells better, (people or reindeer), or Anna asking the ever-important question: “Do you want to build a snowman?”. At the end of the day, your elf will realize, like Elsa, the cold never bothered them anyway.

Left foot blue. Right hand red. It’s easy to get tied up in knots when you’re playing Twister, and now your elf has a turn, too, thanks to this cute printable. It comes with a board and a real DIY spinner. This requires a little crafting on your part, and if you want the prop to really work, it’s advisable to print it on paper that can be played with. Add a doll or action figure so that your elf isn’t playing alone. Your kids will love seeing all the crazy positions your elf has to get into in order to win the game.

Your Elf on the Shelf loves Christmas movies. And if their favorite is A Christmas Story, now they can become a part of the movie with this printable. It allows them to become a part of the Fragile box, which The Old Man calls “Frah-jeel-lay.” Even your elf knows that it’s a major award!

It might look like your elf isn’t really doing anything, they’re actually very busy observing all of your child’s shenanigans — the good, the bad, and the ugly. That’s why this Elf on the Shelf printable behavior report from Crystal and Comp can help your elf stay on top of their paperwork. There are sections that your elf can complete on times when they caught you being good, which can encourage your kiddo to be on their bestest behavior… even if they have a bratty younger sibling.

Your Elf on the Shelf isn’t just all work. Oh no, they like to play, too. And since they can often be found playing practical jokes (like putting plastic wrap on toilets, for example), it should come as no surprise that your elf loves a good joke, too. They’ll especially love these printable joke cards from Over the Big Moon. You can print out a bunch of them and put one a day in your child’s lunchbox so they have something to laugh at while they’re munching on their mac n’ cheese.
