Here is how to set up this easy, imaginative scene:

How-To Set Up The Shoe Train

1.) Gather several pairs of shoes (the more the merrier!) and line them up, heel-to-toe, on the floor or a table.

2.) Place your elf inside the very first shoe, making sure they are tucked in securely.

3.) Print the Shoe Train note, the Boarding Platform sign, and the small tickets from our free Elf on the Shelf printables PDF.

4.) Place the Boarding Platform sign near the beginning of the shoe train.

5.) Leave the note next to your elf where your child will easily find it.

6.) Scatter the train tickets nearby for an extra whimsical touch.

The note reads: “All Aboard The Shoe Train! I lined up your shoes to make an elf-sized train… it’s perfect for zooming around on magical nights! Thanks for letting me borrow your shoes! Choo-Choo! Love, Your Elf” 🚂
