How do you make a elf on the shelf come to your house?
- Visit an official Scout Elf Adoption Center. At these special adoption centers, which are typically only open during the holiday season, you and your family can visit and pick out your very own Elf on the Shelf® to take home.
- Visit Santa's online adoption center.
- Put it in a wish list.
Consequently, why do elves come to your house?
Elves could come to your house to see if it is safe for Santa to land there. They will check for changes in your house. And if you have a new pet then Santa himself comes around to get to know him well enough so that on Christmas Eve he doesn't get frightened or make a lot of noise when Santa shows up.
Also, can parents touch your elf on the shelf?
Children are not allowed to touch the elf or she will lose her magic. Secondly, the elf must never move or speak when people are home or awake, but can "move" from place to place when no one is around.
It's too warm in your house. Elves live in the North Pole where the temperature is very cold. Often an elf will lose their magic over night when the temperature gets too warm or they use up too much energy making something for you.
