"SANTA SMILES MISSION" ~ SHARE ACTS OF KINDNESS THIS HOLIDAY SEASON

Elf On the Shelf With a Twist

By Christel M. Hoydic ~ Macaroni Kid Middetown November 24, 2015
For many years now I have been known to go over the top with the Elf on the Shelf every holiday season. From zany, to crazy, silly, and even naughty you name it our elf has done it.  But, this year is different. Now, that my son is 8 and can pretty much remember everything the elf has done in the past, I am out of ideas, a little dare I say tired of the elf but, also looking for a way to spread some holiday cheer. Which is where I came up with the idea for "The Santa Smiles Mission".

Here is how it works; On the first morning that the elf arrives at your house he will bring along a note like the printable one found by HERE. The Note will be from your Elf and Santa explaining that they have been given a mission this holiday season. Your child is now in charge of spreading "Santa Smiles." Each and every night when the elf flies back to the North Pole Santa will give your Elf a new mission to bring back to your child. When your Child wakes up in the morning he/she will find the Elf in a new spot (yes you still have to move it) with a New Mission (Act of Kindness) to complete that day.

Kids will be spreading Kindness this holiday season and sharing Smiles all month Long!

Below you will find The Santa Smiles Mission Printables all 48 of them and even a blank page for you to customize. You can also view the Mission Letter from Santa.
