Elf On The Shelf – Chocolate Chaos

Our next favorite won’t be so popular with the little ones, as Buddy the Elf makes his way into the Christmas chocolates.

The only thing you need for this idea is a packet or box of chocolates and a floor cleaning kit.

Place Buddy inside the packet. Leave a trail of trouble on the floor after spilling some of the contents. Add a bit of chocolate around Buddy’s mouth to enhance the effect. This will further confirm his involvement and add to the mischief.

It is important to remember that if you have an underfloor heating system under your laminate, engineered wood, or EvoCore hardwood flooring sherman oaks, your chocolate props may be melted. Authenticity is enhanced by this, but it also makes cleaning up more difficult.

Make sure that your underfloor heating system is not in use between setting up your scene and your little ones discovering their chocolate collection is lighter.

He’s Snow Angel

To prepare this next snowstorm, Buddy will need to raid the baking cupboard for the ingredients!

The snow angel is a popular idea but comes with a lot of mess.

Use sprinkles for a quirky set up, or use flour or icing sugar for a traditional snowy look, being sure to avoid baking soda!

Despite producing a snowy effect, baking soda can damage the protective coating on hardwood flooring service sherman oaks, leaving it vulnerable to damage in the future.

Once your children see what Buddy has been up to overnight, a quick sweep up or vacuum will eliminate the mess.

When Buddy is playing in sprinkles, be cautious when running the hoover over them, debris could get caught in the wheels, resulting in accidental scratches.

If your vacuum has additional attachments, we recommend using them – since protecting your floor and keeping it in pristine condition is no laughing matter.

Hassle-Free Elf On The Shelf Flooring Ideas

Our favorite Elf on the Shelf flooring ideas do require a little caution for your charming wood flooring, but there are also some ideas that you can execute without thought.

Elf-Isolation

This idea might give you a little relief from Buddy’s bad behavior for a night or two. We call it elf-isolation.

Make a segmented area on your floor with paper, card, or even a box to sit Buddy in. Write Buddy a letter explaining why he is self-isolating and you’ll avoid the mess for a few nights.

Snowball Fight

The snowball fight with Buddy will not only put your mind at ease when thinking about your hardwood flooring service sherman oaks, but will also provoke the rest of the toys in your house.

You don’t need to worry. There will be no real snow!

Now would be a great time to introduce his sidekick, the girl Elf on the Shelf. The two of them can then have a snowball fight.

Better yet, both! You could also arm some of the other toys in the house with snowballs and set them a few feet away from Buddy.

No floor protection is needed. Although you might want to build a wall to shield the toys, Buddy throws great!
