Elf Alphabet Ideas: A-Z Daily Elf Ideas

What does the elf learn in school? 

The elfabet!

Looking for a way to make your elf visits both magical and educational this December? Have your elf teach your kids the elfabet by introducing a new letter of the alphabet each day with playful setups that highlight words beginning with that letter. From A to Z, your elf can help children learn letters, sounds, and vocabulary in a hands-on, memorable way. Not only does this keep the holiday tradition exciting, but it also turns it into a fun daily literacy adventure for little ones. 

This post includes multiple daily alphabet inspired elf ideas for each letter of the alphabet. They're perfect for parents or teachers who want to sneak a little learning into the festive fun.

Free Printable Elf Ideas Planner & Calendar

Do you always start your elf season with good intentions of being prepared and organised, only to end up running out of ideas or completing forgetting the elf half way through December? Don't worry, I do too and I have literally hundreds of elf ideas on my blog and still have nights where I go completely blank and throw something random together last minute.

Well, not this year my friends! I'm determined to actually write down and plan out my ideas on paper instead of relying on my overwhelmed Mum brain to magically remember them all during the Christmas chaos. I've created a free printable elf planning kit that includes a calendar, idea planner and ideas checklist, so nothing can go wrong {hopefully}. Good news is you can all use it too.
