Elf on the Shelf: Goodnight Moon

Elf on the Shelf: Goodnight Moon

Pepper Mint, our Elf, must have seen the green room in my girls’ dollhouse and thought to do a recreation of one of his favorite night time stories, Goodnight Moon, because when we woke up in the morning, this is what we found…

Goodnight Moon, is a classic bedtime story.

It’s been a favorite since the late 1940’s. Over 48 million copies have been sold!

There isn’t anything flashy or complicated about the story; it is soothing and sweet.

I find it endearing because of its simplicity.

If you haven’t read it yet, it is about a little bunny who is trying to fall sleep and begins saying goodnight to items in the room which rhyme. 

I love that Pepper added his own addition to the book.

He left us a note with these two lines scribbled on it; “Goodnight Elf, Goodnight Shelf”.

Here are the words from the book and what we found in my daughters’ dollhouse.

I’ll leave a supply list of what I think Pepper used to create this Elf on the Shelf: Goodnight Moon scene below… 

“In the great green room

there was a telephone


And a red balloon


And a picture of the cow jumping over the moon

and there were three little bears, sitting on chairs

and two little kittens

and a pair of mittens

and a little toy house

and a young mouse

and a comb and a brush and bowl full of mush

and a quiet old lady who was whispering “hush”

Goodnight room

goodnight moon

goodnight cow jumping over the moon

goodnight light and the red balloon 

goodnight bears goodnight chairs


goodnight kittens


goodnight mittens

 

goodnight clocks

and goodnight socks

goodnight little house


and goodnight mouse

 

goodnight comb and goodnight brush

goodnight nobody goodnight mush

and goodnight to the old lady whispering “hush”

[goodnight elf,

and goodnight shelf]

goodnight stars,


goodnight air

goodnight noises everywhere.”

Check out the short video I made to see the details in a different medium.

This was such a fun little display. My kids were so excited about it.

I love children’s books and we read a lot. This was a fun little display for our family to find.

My kids reactions and joy for these types of things make the holidays and the work involved totally worth it.

Merry Christmas to all…

and to all a goodnight!
