Ready for some elf-tastic facts?

Scout Elves can’t talk

But they listen attentively: to all your dreams, all your adventures and even every quiet whisper.

Scout Elves move at night

When you give your elf a name , you breathe magic into him, allowing him to fly back to the North Pole every night and land in the most amazing places the next morning to surprise you!

Scout Elves have favorite places

If your Scout Elf is still sitting in the same spot the next day, it could be a favorite spot . It probably has a good view!

Scout elves must not be touched

Scout elves lose their magic when they are touched. Did you accidentally touch your elf? Don't worry. There are 3 ways to restore their magic:

  1. Write a letter to Santa or your Scout Elf to say "Sorry!"
  2. Sprinkle some cinnamon near your elf. Cinnamon is like a source of vitamins for elves and helps them recover quickly.
  3. Scout Elves love Christmas carols . Try singing one with your family.
