🎄 Is your Elf departing earlier this year?
Don't worry, Ottawa Parents! Whether your Elf has a "North Pole Emergency" or Santa just needs an extra hand in the workshop, we’ve got you covered.
We just added Early Departure Ideas & Letters to our Elf Survival Kit! Use our "North Pole Help Needed" template to explain the early exit while leaving your little one with a sweet memory (and a treat on the tree!).
🎁 Reminder: Snap, Tag, and Win!
Even if your Elf leaves early, you can still enter our giveaway! Snap a photo of their final setup, tag @OttawaParents, and you’re entered to win the Marsjoy Musical Plush Pony!
