About Elf Pets
While your Scout Elf from The Elf on the Shelf® reports back to Santa each night, Elf Mates® are here to spread kindness, cheer and good deeds all year long. These thoughtful companions are a fun and meaningful way to encourage positive behaviour and spark imaginative play in Canadian homes.
To introduce Elf Mates® alongside your Scout Elf, create a heartwarming Christmas scene, perhaps they’re mending winter boots, wrapping pressies, or whipping up a festive treat. A mini sleigh built from toy blocks or candy canes adds that magical North Pole touch and creates a moment your family will treasure forever.
