I recently came across a mom’s page filled with fun ideas for her adorable boys. Terrica gave permission for me to post some of those ideas.
Elf goes on a date with Barbie.
But what, the next night, Elf’s in trouble! Apparently, he went on a date with Spiderman’s GIRLFRIEND! That didn’t end well! LOL
Another idea from Terrica is to have your Elf attend his own virtual church service. Since we’re still in the age of all things digital, you could have him attend church via zoom. Or switch it up to an office zoom meeting or virtual class. So cute and super easy!
