Yes, you can touch Elf Mates (and Elf Pets), unlike the traditional Scout Elves; they are designed to be played with, hugged, and loved year-round to help spread Christmas cheer and activate their magic, making them perfect for hands-on fun without losing their special powers.
Unlike Scout Elves who report for Santa, Elf Mates inspire good deeds and spread cheer year-round in the home. They're a fun, affordable way to promote kindness and play.
