ELF IS NOT INCLUDED In excellent pre-owned condition, some items were not even used. There are 4 things, however, that you will have to buy (or maybe you have on hand) that were used last year. Everything is listed below, and I have included pictures of the days that need things :) The shopping cart is completely metal, and his little suitcase All items are high quality He is missing his magic travel box for week 3, which allows your child to carry their elf anywhere, but any clear case will do. You will need to buy a can of playdoh and a deer themed item. The playdoh card did get stains from last year but is still completely usable. The deer balloon, of course, didn't make it to this year. Lastly, you'll have to think of something for 1 day. we used the decoder card last year for one of the days. You'll have to print off or make a welcome letter and a goodbye letter. There are 3 naughty nicecreport cards left, as well as 27 glue dots to help pose your elf with the items. PLEASE LOOK AT EACH PICTURE AND PLEASE READ.
