Whether you find them creepy or totes adorbs, one thing is for sure… Elf on the Shelf is effective as a means of behavior control with children.
In my house, we have an Elf on the Shelf named Buddy, and my kids love him. They can't wait to find where he's hiding or what he's doing every morning when they wake up. I had a little fun with Photoshop/Fireworks and added the Elf on the Shelf to a few games — Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare, The Amazing Spider-Man 2, Dark Souls 2, Sunset Overdrive and Madden NFL 15. I hope you find some humor from them!
Happy holidays!
