The Elf on the Shelf: A Christmas Tradition is returning to Australia to capture the hearts of many more Australian families this Christmas following a successful 2016.
This year the return of The Elf on the Shelf brings three new enchanting traditions – Letters to Santa, Elf Pets: A Saint Bernard Tradition and Scout Elves at Play.
Letters to Santa is a magical 22-­piece set that uses Santa’s  Special  Paper™  to  transform  letters  into  miniature  ornaments.  As   explained   in   the   included   storybook,   children  can   write   a   letter  or   their  Christmas  wishlist  for  Santa  on  the  special  paper  which  when  placed  in  the  oven,  with  the  help  of  an  adult,  shrinks  down  to  elf-­size  for  quick  carry  to  the  North  Pole.  After  Santa  reads  the  letters,  Scout  Elves  return  them to  homes  as  keepsake  ornaments  to  hang  on  the  family  Christmas  tree  for  years  to  come.
Joining  last  year’s  Elf  Pets:  A  Reindeer  Tradition,  Elf  Pets:  A  Saint  Bernard  Tradition  brings  even  more  Christmas  Spirit  to  your  home.  This  heart  warming  tale  encourages  children  to  engage  in  acts  of  kindness  with  their  Elf  Pets Saint  Bernard  to  generate  even  more  Christmas  cheer  to  help  Santa.  Each  Saint  Bernard  pup  wears  a  barrel  with  a  magical  heart  charm  to  gather  the  cheer  until  it’s  released  on  Christmas  Eve  to  help  keep  the  North  Pole  magical.

Scout  Elves  at  Play is  a  helpful  kit  of  tips,  tricks  and  elf-­sized  tools  to  inspire  Scout  Elves  to  create  quick,  fun,  and  creative  scenes  in  your  home.  Let  the  Scout  Elf  Training  Team  be  your  guide  through  this  60-page  idea  book  to  show  how  the  15  included  accessories  can  create  over  100  magical  moments!

Christmas  2017  also  heralds  the  release  of  another  entirely  new  range  of  adorable  elf  apparel  with  the  Claus  Couture  Collection  clothing  fashions.  This  year’s  line  features  a  Scout  Elf  Superhero,  Jingle  Jam  Hoodie sweatshirt,  Twirling  in  the  Snow  Skirts,  Sweet  Shop  Baking  Set  &  Apron,  and  Snowflake  Skirt  &  Scarf.

The  magical  story  that  explains  how  Santa’s  scout  elves  help  him  manage  his  naughty  or  nice  list  –  each  beautifully  illustrated  children’s  hardback  book  comes  as  a  part  of  a  keepsake  boxed  set  including  one  of Santa’s  scout  elves,  whose  job  is  to  watch  during  the  day  and  report  to  Santa  every  night.

When  a  family  adopts  a  scout  elf  and  gives  it  a  name,  the  scout  elf  receives  its  Christmas  magic  and  can  fly  to  the  North  Pole  each  night  to  tell  Santa  Claus  about  all  of  the  day’s  adventures.  Each  morning  the scout  elf  returns  to  its  family  ending  up  in  a  different  place  to  watch  the  festive  fun,  creating  a  unique  family  moment.  Children  love  to  race  around  the  house  and  see  where  their  scout  elf  has  landed.
The  Elf  on  the  Shelf  traditions  will  be  available  again  nationwide  with  official  retail  “Adoption  Centres”  opening   across   Australia   including   Myer   department   stores,   Dymocks   booksellers,   and  independent specialty  store  locations.
