Here’s an easy way to Make A Candy Cane Sleigh For Your Elf On The Shelf . Simple decorations like this candy cane sleigh add whimsical touches to your Christmas decor. Kids love to look for their Elf on the Shelf and what a fun place to find him. We’ve made this a teen craft because duct tape and hot glue guns are not kid friendly.

Trivia: Basically, the shelf elf’s job is to sit there all day watching how kids behave. Then, at night he magically comes to life and heads to the North Pole to report back to Santa about what he saw. This is how he ends up in a different spot every day.
