What a year 2020 has been- and it’s still only October! I feel like as long as this year has felt…it’ll drag by and also fly at the same time, and I know that won’t make sense unless you remember it’s 2020 and that’s just how everything’s going. With the end of the year comes the holidays…and our favorite mischevious little elf friends. Today we’ve got a super cute and very fun printable Elf on the Shelf quarantine box (and a bonus adorable little printable Elf mask!)
Having the elves come early, or are you considering it but really just don’t know if you want to commit to extra nights of shenanigans? Print this elf isolation house and voila! The elf arrives, but understandably has to quarantine for 14 days to keep everyone safe. Can’t risk Santa, other elves or the reindeer catching coronavirus!
Maybe you’re like me, and the idea of doing the usual antics for the whole month of December is a little overwhelming this year…think of this as a cliff’s notes aka Elf on the Shelf 2020 style. You get14 days with the elf in isolation but it’s still there visiting! Don’t have the official EOTS? We have lots of suggestions for alternatives to the elf on the shelf…and we’re pretty sure just about all of them will fit in this isolation house!
