A Message from I Spot Santa Directors, Pasquale & Autumn Murena


Santa's Elves facts are hard to come by unless you have met an elf and we have! Elves are magical workers that are impossible to photograph or film but since we have seen them numerous times and work with 15 video elves we know a lot about them. Learn all about the elves that work with Santa Claus at the North Pole and the 15 video elves that work with us at I Spot Santa.

Since we cannot photograph an elf we have drawn our 15 video elves below so you can see what they look like. Let us know which elf is your favorite and we will be sure to tell them.

You can even check out our Reindeer facts here to go along with your favorite Santa Elf facts.

ELF DEPARMTENTS

At the North Pole Santa Claus has divided his elves into two departments, the first department is toy builders and the second department is transporters. Both of these departments are very important to the daily operations of the North Pole and without one of them their would be no Christmas. Look at the departments below and the jobs that make up that department, which department would you like to work in?

Toy Builders

Being a toy builder for Santa Claus is the highest honor for an elf. The North Pole has strick regulations for becoming a Toy Builder, here are some of the talents you need to have to become one.


Transporters

Santa's transporters have some of the most important jobs, they ensure Santa can fly for Christmas.

Santa's Toy Builder Talents

  • PAINTERS

    Almost every toy that leaves the North Pole has to be painted, weather a smiling doll face or eyes on a rocking horse.

  • WOOD WORKERS

    This is a talent that is as valuable today as it was when the North Pole first opened its doors. Wood workers build all the wooden toys.

  • SEAMSTRESS

    Sewing teddy bears together or cutting patterns for a dress, the North Pole seamstresses are the best in the toy making world.

  • ASSEMBLERS

    Once a toy has been painted, cut out or sewn together they need to be assembled. Assemblers put together over 523 million toys a year.


Santa's Transporter Talents

  • STABLE WORKERS

    Santa's sleigh cannot fly without his reindeer and these elves ensure they are well fed, cleanly groomed and in a healthy place.

  • MAINTENANCE

    Before every ride, Santa's sleigh needs to be inspected for safety and maintained. Santa's safety is in these elves hands.

I SPOT SANTA VIDEO ELVES


One of the most common questions we get about I Spot Santa’s video elves is: “How did we meet the video elves?” The answer is, Santa Claus asked us in 2009 to start spotting him during the month of December to help spread the spirit and joy of Christmas.

He picked 15 of his favorite elves and asked them to work with us on this important task. These magical elves happily agreed and they are a great help in helping us spot Santa Claus. When we met with Santa we asked a lot about elf facts and he gave us many answers, we shared some with you below.
