ELVES are the latest Christmas craze which has been delighting children and parents in the run up to the big day.
The idea of the elf is to report back to Father Christmas whether children are being naughty or nice but in the meantime he or she gets up to all kinds of mischief.
Parents have come up with more and more creative scenes for their children to discover in the morning and mums and dads in Worcester have shared some of their ideas.
If you are looking for inspiration for your own Elf, here is what they have been up to in Worcester:
Emma Stevens' elf has not only been captured by Darth Vader but also managed to escape thanks to Woody and Buzz
Elsa managed to freeze Sharon Townsend's elf in Claines
"We started a few years ago after seeing the tradition whilst in America on holiday it's a magical story for children to read and then receive their elf who then reports back to Santa on a nightly basis but also can be very naughty or nice in the process."
Amanda Jayne Hall
"My kids are 13-19 so our elf is bit more grown up."
Angela Rees
"This is Jingles the elf in his special elf bed. This is his fourth year visiting us and he gets up to lots of mischief."
