If an elf on the shelf is touched, simply explain to the child the importance of not touching them so their magic can remain strong. You can also have the elf "report back" to Santa to remind the child about good behavior. Ultimately, it's a fun tradition and touching the elf can be seen as part of the learning process.

What to do if shelf elf is touched?
They lose their magic when touched! The only way to revive your elf's magic is to place him/her in the freezer overnight. ***Caution: Don't touch the elf with your hands to put your elf in the freezer!*** Place your elf in the freezer using tongs or gloves and leave your elf in the freezer overnight. Bring him/her out the following morning--using tongs or gloves again--and place the elf back in the spot where he/she was touched. If you're lucky, you will revive your elf's magic, and your elf will be hiding somewhere in your house the following morning. ***Be careful not to touch him/her again. If he/she is touched too many times, your elf may become an ordinary doll!*** To be honest, I believe that you sprinkle cinnamon around it. The elf considers cinnamon, medicine. :)
