...and I did!
As I cruised the odds n' ends bags - guess what I saw?!
My heart pounded - I was so excited and $1.99 OMG what a find!
Two items in the bag = my elf is $1 - yippy!
A tad out of sorts - but nothing major that couldn't be fixed!
All fixed up - what a gem!
With a little internet exploring I can put together the story well enough to share our very own Christmas Elf with the tots in my classroom! I even found a multitude of other resources to make this a really fun adventure!

Well 'Our Elf' will begin visiting our classroom tomorrow - let's see how it goes! I'll report in later. :)
Update:
Here he is 'Stanley' watching over the tots!
He's on top of our calendar board.
Oh and Stanley brought some presents to count! :)
The children responded well - we had a good day! :)
