We love it when the elf leaves a fun activity for the kids to do! And kids LOVE scavenger hunts! Use our Elf Scavenger Hunt Printable Cards to customize a fun surprise for the kiddos.
Our latest printable is the perfect addition for your elf to add to his or her back of tricks. When you finish grabbing our cards, make sure you head on over and scope out our massive Elf on the Shelf master list of ideas. That list is a decade in the making and has so many great ideas and printables for your elf to use!
Today’s printable is all about the classic scavenger hunt. And while yes, many households seem to be overrun with candy canes during the holiday months, I went one step beyond that and made different cards for your elf to use. The elf can choose between candy canes, ornaments, bells OR an item of your choosing.
