Pick My Name Arrival
A brand-new elf arrives with a blank name tag and asks your kids to choose its name.
A 5-minute idea for The Elf on the Shelf® or any elf doll.
What you need
- paper and scissors
- a marker
How to set it up
- Cut a name tag from paper and write HELLO, MY NAME IS at the top, leaving the rest blank.
- Sit your elf on the arm of the couch and lean the tag against a cushion beside it.
- Leave the marker by the tag, so your kids can write the name they choose without touching your elf.
Safety check
Marker caps are a choking risk under 4. With a baby or toddler in the house, keep the marker and write the chosen name yourself. How we check
Note from your elf: Hi! I'm new here and I don't have a name yet. Will you pick one for me?
