Backwards Leprechaun Note.

Leprechauns love to be silly and play pranks.  Awhile back we spotted this backwards leprechaun note and thought it would be fun to create one of our own.

See if you kids can read it- it's backwards!

Place it in front of a mirror to decode it's secret message:
I may be wee, but I am big on having fun!
Can you find the 10 gold coins I left for you?

Hide some chocolate gold coins around the house and send your kids on a leprechaun inspired treasure hunt!

Teacher Resource: Free Desk Fairy Printable

Have you heard of the clean desk fairy?

As a way to encourage students to keep their spaces neat and tidy, the desk fairy will pay a visit after school hours.

The students will know she has stopped by when they find a little note tucked inside their desk or cubby.  She's a great motivator to help kids stay on top of their personal spaces while at school.

Quite a few teachers use A Little Lair® to welcome desk fairies into their classroom.

We've created our own little desk fairy notes to help you get started.  Click here to print the free templates in both color and black and white.

Personal classroom use only.  

Enjoy!

Dear Santa...

Every Christmas Eve my boys write a note to Santa.  It's usually short and sweet- thanking him for stopping by our house and letting him know what type of cookies we baked for him this year.

When I came across this Dear Santa letter download on Pinterest, I knew it would be perfect to print out this year.  I hope you'll do the same.

Printable Elf Gift Tags.

I think just about everyone with small children is familiar with the Elf on the Shelf tradition!  It's how we first welcomed holiday elves into our homes and we love the idea.

Recently, I was checking out all the fun stuff on their website when I came across these adorable printable holiday gift tags.  And the best part... they're free!

Knock, knock. Who's there?

Daily elf jokes would be a great idea for some of the older kids out there who receive visits from a holiday elf.  These free printables can be found on the blog, Over the Big Moon.  Click here for the details.

Two cheers for holiday magic !

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas…yes, we know it isn’t even Thanksgiving yet!

We have been busy gearing up for one of our favorite times of year. The holiday elves are coming! 

Like many families, we both welcome one of Santa’s elves into our home starting the day after Thanksgiving.  Our elves report to Santa daily updates for his naughty/nice list. These elves, like all elves, love to play pranks and spread holiday cheer. 

Starting the Friday after Thanksgiving, be sure to visit us everyday for lots of new and original elf high jinks (and some freebies too).  

Two cheers for holiday magic!!

For those of you interested in sending your little ones a letter from the big man himself, we think it's important to use his official letterhead.
