Elves are very fragile, and if they are touched by human children they lose their magic and ability to communicate with Santa.
The only rule for children is that they can't touch their elf or else the magic might disappear. Elf babies aren't an official toy from the Elf on the Shelf store, though many are dressed in the red outfits that match the signature elf.
