    Hi Pam,

    I am looking to download some of your printables ie. elf good deed suggestions but it directs me to a morning routines schedule. Could you possibly assist? Is this part of your Elf book that is available for purchase?

    These are great way of encouraging kids to help out around the house.

    I wanted to love these, but they are sexist. Help mom cook dinner, help mom by doing an extra chore, but deliver a special lunch to dad? Is this the 1950s? I’d love to see a version of this that assumes household work is everyone’s responsibility.

      I don’t believe by encouraging kids to help around the house through the cards it in any way makes them bad or sexist. My kids have daily responsibilities around our house, but I’d still love if they did anything additional that would be encouraged from our Elf bringing these cards. There are lots of options within the downloadable cards and you are welcome to use or not use any that you don’t like. I’ve also provided blank cards for your to be able to create any that you want.

      I’m really sorry Pam caved and changed the cards to suit a bellyacher. Here in the REAL world, I AM the one who makes dinner and it would have been nice to see “mom” smile, not “parents” smile in the interest of inclusive balderdash. So thanks, “NC MOM” for ruining something that was a nice gesture… especially for my BOYS who I’m raising to be MEN. More political tripe.

        My 4 year old acts more mature than this person. If your boys follow your lead, they’ll never be men.

        I LOVE card the updated cards and can’t wait to use them and show my child how to be respectful in the process!

    I love the elf Ideas! I think we’re going to do a 12 days of Christmas count down and have our two boys do something kind for others each of the 12 days. Thanks for the templates and ideas!
