Rock Climbing Elf | Elf on the Shelf Idea

My oldest daughter is the youngest on her rock climbing team and will be competing in an out of state regionals bouldering competition this weekend. Our Elf on the Shelf, Elvis, has overheard us talking about the competition for weeks. This morning we woke up to find that our elf is a great rock climber too. The rock climbing elf is not my original idea but certainly a favorite in our home this year.

Our eight year old daughter loves the sport and while it has taken quite a bit of learning outside our comfort zone, the past couple of years have been incredible watching her excel.

We recently moved into a new home with a chalkboard painted on the pantry door. It was the perfect place for the Elf on the Shelf to set up his rock climbing wall.

I’m no elf but if I had to guess how he made his rock climbing wall it looks like he used small bows and the chalk markers we used to make this movie night snack station. He also used glue spots to help him hold onto the wall.

  1. I love this idea, it’s actually on my Elf Planner Calendar for sometime next week. Our Elf happened to Catch another Intruder Elf this morning. My little guys thought it was hilarious. I think it’s extra special that your Daughter rock climbs, what a great way to incorporate that into Elf on the Shelf
