Love these ideas but heres my question… your not supposed to touch the elf right. Then how the heck do you take a shower id hes hanging in the shower? Or wash your hands if hes fishing for goldfish. So do you move him? Not sure about this? I do love some of these though…
Shirley says
Rebekah – You will have to move the elf when child isn’t around. Don’t use the sink idea if only one bathroom in the house.
Angel says
My son makes me wear rubber gloves to move his elf! Lol
The Idea Room Assistant says
Angel- That is the cutest thing ever!
