Both kids and adults are going crazy for elf on the shelf this year, and many parents have trouble hiding those little creatures around the house. Celebrities, such as Alyssa Milano, Busy Phillips, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Kylie Jenner, and Tori Spelling, take this modern tradition to the next level by dressing elves in knitted mermaid tails, creating an elf on the shelf red carpet premiere, and making elves play some reindeer games, climbing the mirror, or wandering around the kitchen.

If you are obsessed with elf on the shelf, but you are too tired or busy (or lazy) to come up with some creative ideas or you have a hard time hiding the elf every night for your little ones to find it in the morning, check out the following Instagram-inspired ideas:
