It’s that time again when the Elf on the Shelf is arriving at homes across the world in anticipation of Christmas .
While this year may be somewhat different due to coronavirus, one thing that doesn’t need to change is bringing everyone’s favourite festive pastime to life.
With elves set to make an appearance tomorrow, December 1, to spy on the kids and report back to Santa, there’s a couple of things you’ll need in advance.
Many parents bring back their elves in a big way ahead of Christmas, whether it’s having them deliver a December 1 box or pull a naughty prank.
This year, parents can bring back their Elf on the Shelf with a magical arrival letter.
Pinterest has a range of different letters for parents to use, free of charge and easy to print, which you can find here .

Many of the standard letters include simple notes from your Elf on the Shelf, announcing their arrival and even encouraging them to follow the rules ahead of Christmas.
Some of the printables even leave space for you to include the name of your children and their elf.
If you’d rather write your own message, there are blank templates you can print out, such as this one here .
