The purpose of the Elf on the Shelf is to watch how the children behave leading up to Christmas. If he is in a spot where he can see a lot of activity, he may stay put. Our Elf moves around but often returns to the same spot more than once. He has been coming for several years and ALWAYS shows up the day after Thanksgiving. We have noticed that he finds hiding spots where he goes unnoticed so that he can really observe the children's behavior without them being aware of him. I have also heard that if you touch him he won't move - try writing a little note to tell him you won't touch him again and see if that works. Good luck!

The Elf on the Shelf is typically moved during the daytime when kids are not around because the magic of the elf is designed for it to be seen in different locations every day as if it has come to life at night. This adds to the fun and wonder of the holiday tradition for children.

Of course the Elves come to life at night! They have very special Christmas Magic that allows them to fly back to Santa to report that a child has been nice (or sometimes, naughty). You can get an Elf on the Shelf of your own straight from Santa and the North Pole. Just go to www.elfontheshelf.com. You will need some help from mom, dad, grandma, grandpa, or your aunt or uncle to pay the adoption fee. After a few days you will have your very own elf friend!

It depends on how magical your elf is. Mine has left for just about an hour in the daytime.

Can you SEE an elf on the shelf move?

Although an Elf on the Shelf toy does not move on its own, some people create the illusion of movement by placing it in different locations each day. The elf is traditionally believed to move at night when no one is around to witness it.

Why does flame test for sodium ion result in yellow flame?

It's because of what happens to the electrons when you heat it. (Electrons are one of the three tiny particles that make up an atom.) The electrons in burning sodium get excited and gain energy--I would, too, if someone set me on fire--but they eventually calm down. When they calm down, they give off that extra energy as light. But here's the weird thing: They give off that energy only in certain specific amounts, most of that energy corresponds to yellow light. Imagine a bookshelf with a sodium electron on the lowest shelf. When that electron gets excited it jumps up one or two levels of the shelf, and when it calms down it moves back down the shelf. If the next to lowest shelf is 10" inches above the lowest shelf, then the electron can move up only 10" as it goes up one level from the bottom. It can't move up just 7" because there's no shelf there. The sodium bookshelf might have a shelf that is 10" above the bottom shelf, then another shelf 8" above that and another shelf 5" above that. That means the sodium electron can move up or down 10", 8" or 5", but can't move 4" or 9". When you burn sodium, most of the electrons move up the shelf because they gain energy, but some give off their energy very quickly and move back down again. The electrons that move down 10" from the second lowest to the lowest shelf give off yellow light. True, some electrons move down 8" from shelf #3 to shelf #2, and maybe they give off orange light, but most of the electrons are moving down 10" from shelf #2 to #1, so that's the main light that we see. Each element has its own special bookshelf that it is restricted to, and each bookshelf has its shelves spaced differently, so as their electrons move down the different shelves they give off different colored light. Scientists can use the different colors given off to identify different elements. That's how they can identify different chemicals in space.
