Frequently asked questions

Is the funny elf ideas free?

Yes, with no signup. Free prints carry a small Printoodle footer; a free account removes it and saves your plans to a library.

Does this work with any elf tradition?

Yes. The ideas work with any Christmas elf your family already has. Type your elf's name and your child's name to personalize the cut-out notes from the elf.

What supplies do I need?

Only household things: cotton balls, toilet paper rolls, sticky notes, a mug of mini marshmallows. Every plan ends with a supplies checklist showing which night needs what, and most ideas leave no mess at all.

Are the ideas safe for little kids?

Yes. Nothing uses flames, sharp tools or high places, food is used in small amounts, and the elf always ends up somewhere a child can spot in the morning without climbing.
