re: How to tell the kids that the Elf on the shelf died?

Like my parents told me about Santa Claus. I must have been in the 3rd.. Maybe 4th grade... I already was questioning it and had my doubts but one day right after Christmas my dad was like "Hey, you probably already figured it out, but Santa isn't real. The same for the easter bunny and tooth fairy".. I never really believed in the tooth fairy and questioned the Easter bunny before Santa, but you just got to tell them the truth,
