0 I gave in...

... and bought an Elf on the Shelf for my classroom! I blame it all on Pinterest and the funny ideas everyone keeps posting about! I figure I'll use the elf in my classroom for a few years and then I can use her with my own children someday. I am also going to totally copy-cat Cara Carroll and name her Elfabet--it's just too cute!! I can't wait for her to arrive in the mail, so my students can meet her!

Here are a few {classroom friendly} ideas I am excited to use:

I love this idea, because first grade teachers always have plenty of band-aids!

I haven't bought an Elf on the Shelf unit on TpT yet... I still have to many to look through and it's too hard to decide! Click {here} to check them all out for yourself!

The Elf on the Shelf website also has lots of great ideas and resources!

Do you have an Elf on the Shelf? I would love to hear about your fun ideas!
