## What is Project Elf?

Goal of the App:
Christmas is busy enough, so spend more time having fun and simplify your holidays with Project Elf - the ultimate Elf on the Shelf® management app!

What Our App Offers:
From an easy to use search function, to the ability to save your favorite elf pose for each day, we make your Elf on the Shelf® experience easier than ever.


Search for Ideas or Build Your Own:
Use our application to search for creative ideas on how to pose your elf.  Once you find an idea you like, we show you the supply list and provide instructions (we call this a blueprint) for how to implement the idea.  You can search for ideas based on difficult level, time, and if it can accommodate multiple elves, and more.

If you don't find an idea you like, or want to add your own, you can create a blueprint in the app.  Your can add this blueprint to your calendar and the supplies on it will be added to your shopping list.

Calendar:
Once you find a pose you want to save, simply select the day you want to use that pose and it will be added to the calendar.  This allows you to quickly see which days you don't have a plan for yet.

Store Information:
Your child accidentally touched their elf, now what?  What did the goodbye letter from the elf say last year?  Store that information (and any other "Elf Rules") in the app so that you remember for next year.  You will also be able to see what poses you've done in the past so you only replicate them when you want and don't accidentally duplicate them.

Download Project Elf now and make Elf on the Shelf® truly magical!


Why Did We Build Project Elf?
This is our first year doing Elf on the Shelf® with our daughter, and after hearing so many nightmare stories about people not knowing what to do with the elf, running out of supplies, or even forgetting to move the elf, we wanted a way to help organize and simplify the entire process.  We created Project Elf to keep Elf on the Shelf® the magical experience it should be.

Elevate your Christmas with Project Elf! Fin the poses (we call them blueprints) your Scout Elves, that match your family's unique personalities, and bring daily doses of festive inspiration. Explore a wealth of family-friendly activities, complete with materials and instructions, from quick crafts to elaborate designs. The Project Elf App features a collection of blueprints, scheduling tools and reminders to ensure your scout elf moves. If you don’t find a blueprint that matches your idea, we have include tools to help you make it, and even share it to other.

Download now for a magical holiday season, and hopefully a bit less stress!

I love that I can plan what the elf is going to do each day.  I can make sure I have the supplies I need and don’t have to search google at midnight trying to find an easy way to pose the elf that doesn’t need a lot of supplies.
