Everyone knows how mischievous our magical Christmas elf toys can be – here at Elf for Christmas we hear reports from homes all over the country about the antics those little imps get up to throughout December.

We’ve collected a few of the best creative ideas for elf mischief we’ve heard below. But whatever you do, don’t let your own elf toy see this list – the last thing you want to do is go giving your Christmas elf ideas for his own mischief to find in your home!

These elf mischief ideas should particularly appeal to younger children.

We’ll be sharing more of the tricks and tomfoolery our magical Christmas elf toys get up to throughout December, so make sure you follow us on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram and Pinterest for more elf ideas!
