Ideas for pixie pranks

In the attic, Santa is sitting with his Christmas porridge... And he is waiting to start teasing the little ones in the family.

Maybe you are lucky to have to help him a little with the teasing? ;-)
Some pixie pranks are quite classic, and maybe you yourself remember them from your childhood.

Find your inner elf and use these ideas for elf pranks that bring out the Christmas light in the children's eyes 🎅🏼 See the suggestions below the picture.


- Color the milk in the fridge with food colouring. You can use the milk to make rice porridge, so it has a fun colour

- Sprinkle flour on a table or on the floor together with the child before bedtime. Make "footprints" from the elf in the flour when the child is sleeping. Then you can see that the elf has been in the house at night

- Put nail polish on fingers and toes while the child sleeps

- Tie all shoes together in the laces

- Save today's Santa gift so you go on a treasure hunt in the house

- Write "I want porridge" on the floor or table with groats, lentils or the like
You can also write another message from the elf, e.g. "Merry Christmas"

- Draw on the bathroom mirror with lipstick

- Paint the mother's or father's face, e.g. with a moustache

- Never mind porridge in shoes or mittens

- Swap children's clothes and adult clothes around, so that adult clothes are laid out for the children

- Decorate a room that is not normally decorated, e.g. hallway or bathroom while the children sleep

- Put a greeting from Santa in the lunch box

The elf will be busy for the rest of December... What does the mischievous elf usually do at your house?
