The Elf on the Shelf is a fun holiday tradition where the elf is believed to lose its magic if touched, so picking it up with tongs would in essence be considered touching it. This action may disrupt the magic of the tradition for children who believe in the magic of the elf.
To pick up the Elf on the Shelf without losing its magic, you can use a pair of tongs or tweezers to carefully lift it. It's important to handle the Elf with care and respect its magical properties to ensure its continued enchantment. Avoid touching the Elf directly with your hands to maintain its mystical presence.
