I’d seen a few ideas similar to this on Pinterest so I found a cheap fishing game and had him playing with it that morning.ĭecember 16 – My kids seem to always enjoy the mornings when they find Buddy playing with their toys.

They really enjoyed this one.ĭecember 15 – I always try to keep an eye out for cheap toys and props that I can use with Buddy. They thought it was so funny that they were playing together.ĭecember 5 – Buddy brought Christmas Snacks – I found the cute stick on labels for the fruit punch at the Dollar Store.ĭecember 6 – Buddy tried to do a little decorating with tinsel.ĭecember 7 – We woke up to a toy parade with Buddy leading the way.ĭecember 8 – My daughter Ella’s Birthday is December 10 and so the day of her party she woke up to find Buddy in her room with a bunch of balloons.ĭecember 9 – Video letters from Santa on the iPad.ĭecember 10 – This day Buddy had a note from Santa with a warning to behave since they’d had a bad day the day before.ĭecember 11 – I found this adorable Charlie Brown Tree at Hallmark so the kids found Buddy with it on this morning.ĭecember 12 – I found this cute printout through Pinterest and filled a cheap glass Christmas tree with Hershey Kissesĭecember 13 – Some days I get too busy and forget about Buddy til the last minute…so this day was a quick idea – we found him watching a movie with Cinderella.ĭecember 14 – Unfortunately a nasty tummy bug hit our house, so I picked up some Jello Jigglers and left a get well note from Buddy for the kids. He even signed the DVD case for them.ĭecember 3 – My kids love A Charlie Brown Christmas so I picked up these little figurines for them and had Buddy trapped inside the box.ĭecember 4 – We woke up to find Buddy playing with all the Angry Bird toys. My kids didn’t eat but a few bites of a doughnut I think but it sure looked cute!ĭecember 2 – The kids woke up to find Buddy watching his own movie, snacking on popcorn and juice.

Yes I went way overboard with the sugary treats. Some of these ideas are my own, and some I found on Pinterest.ĭecember 1 – Buddy showed up that morning with a “North Pole Breakfast” and a note from Santa. I have so much fun coming up with ideas for Buddy every day before Christmas and I thought I’d share what he got up to around here last year for you here.

This year will be our family’s third year to welcome our little Elf, Buddy, on December 1st. Nikki shares 24 days of Elf on the Shelf ideas.
