One mum has been forced to get creative after she spotted her son's mischievous Elf toy had lost a limb just one day after she gave it to her four-year-old.
Lauren Weir, 30, from Watford opted to give her son, Tommy, his Elf on a Shelf toy on December 1.
However, shortly after giving him the toy she noticed that one of the legs had mysteriously disappeared and could not be seen anywhere.
