THE first few days of Elf on the Shelf are always great fun – but after getting off to a strong start with toilet paper and Christmas tree pranks, we've now officially reached the point where we'll take all the help we can get.

And it turns out we're not alone.

Earlier this month, TikTok user Steph revealed in a viral video how she let her teenage daughter take over for a night.

And let's just say, she instantly regretted it.

In a video that's racked up over 3.4 MILLION views, the mum explained how her teenager helped the Elf find too good a hiding place.

She wrote: "When your daughter has one job and that's move the elf… but fails to tell anyone it's in the oven."

Although she was fuming when she found out (much like the Elf), Steph did see the funny side and gave a glimpse of the VERY charred toy which is basically unrecognisable.

Luckily for the parents, viewers said they could still work around the mishap.

"OMG awesome," one replied. "Put the elf in a hospital in bandages for 2 weeks then get a new one before Christmas."

In response, Steph said: "Oh man, a band-aid isn't going to fix this one. He needs surgical intervention and then some."

Another suggested: "Put him next to store bought cookies with a note apologizing for burning the homemade ones he attempted."

Meanwhile, a third said: "Write a letter from Santa saying the elf had to help with a Christmas emergency and will be back soon then get another."

For more parenting stories, this mum was left in stitches over five-year-old son’s first written sentence — ‘I like wine’.

And these mums have found the perfect way to wrap dozens of presents without the back ache from sitting on the floor & it’s genius.

Plus this mum was slammed for turning her kitchen into a BEACH in most lavish Elf on the Shelf prank ever.
