Psst, friend! I did not move last night because I stayed up late wrapping presents with the other elves. Keep an eye out tomorrow. I have something fun planned. Lots of love from the North Pole, Your Elf

Every parent forgets to move the elf at least once. These notes give the elf a believable reason for staying put: a snowstorm at the North Pole, a long night in the toy workshop, or a spot so cozy it fell asleep. Type the names above and tap for one that fits.

Hello, Mia and Leo!
I did not move last night because I stayed up late wrapping presents with the other elves. Tomorrow I will be extra sneaky to make up for it.
Lots of love from the North Pole,
Jingle

Leave the note where the elf is sitting, and the morning is saved. For tonight's setup, grab something quick from the last-minute section of our Elf on the Shelf ideas.

Elf Note Generator — FAQ

What do you say when the elf does not move?

Give the elf a North Pole excuse: it was helping Santa, it got snowed in, it liked the spot, or it wanted to keep an extra close eye on things. A short note makes it part of the story instead of a mistake.

What if the kids catch me moving the elf?

Many parents say grown-ups are allowed to help the elf when its magic is low. A touched note from this page can back that up the next morning.

Do I need to move the elf every night?

It is part of the fun, but nothing breaks if you miss a night. A did-not-move note covers it.
