The holiday season is a magical time filled with joy, excitement, and anticipation for the arrival of Santa Claus. It’s also the perfect opportunity to teach kids about kindness and generosity.
Our Elf Toy Donation Letter is a delightful way to help children make room for new gifts while learning the value of sharing, with a little help from their friendly elf on the shelf.
This fun activity encourages kids to clear out toys they no longer use and donate them to others who will cherish them – and if you print this out, that will be one more night sorted for your elf on the shelf. So it’s a win win.
Not only does this activity help reduce clutter, but it also helps to encourage a giving spirit in young hearts.
The Elf on the Shelf can bring this special letter alongside a basket for kids to fill with toys they’ve outgrown, or are willing to donate, making it a memorable moment that blends holiday magic with meaningful lessons.

About the Elf Toy Donation Letter Printable
Here’s the full text of the elf on the shelf toy donation letter.
Hello dear friend!
Santa Claus has an important holiday mission for you that’s sure to spread Christmas magic far and wide!
With his sleigh ready to bring you wonderful gifts on December 25th, Santa has a tiny request before he takes off from the North Pole. Could you help him make a little extra room for all those goodies?
Here’s how you can help: Visit your playroom (or wherever you keep your toys) and find some of the toys you’ve outgrown but are still full of love. These toys would be perfect to share with other kids who’ll enjoy them as much as you have! Santa’s busy elves are all set to give these toys a magical touch-up, making them feel brand new. Soon, they’ll find their way to children who will treasure them just as you have.
Imagine how happy you’ll make another child this Christmas! By giving a little piece of your holiday spirit, you’re making Christmas extra special for someone else.
Santa told me he’s so proud of the kindness and joy you’ve shared this year, and he knows you’re just the right one for this wonderful mission. So, what do you say? Let’s get started on this holiday adventure, make room for those new surprises, and fill the season with joy!
With jingling cheer,
[Elf’s Signature]
