Elves are on the loose
Our Enchanted Christmas elves have busted out of Santa’s workshop and scattered themselves all over the streets of Maclean. They’re cheeky, and causing mischief wherever they land.
Your job? Track down all 14 of them.Each elf has a name, and zero interest in staying put. Find every single elf, record their numbers and send in your full list. Only etries with all 14 will make it into the draw. One lucky winner will score the prize.
Collect your entry form from Toyworld Maclean and return your completed form back there. A $50 Toyworld Maclean gift voucher is on offer for your effort in rounding them up! *The winner must have all Elves listed correctly to win!*
It’s fun, free and the perfect way to wander the town and soak up the Christmas magic.
Grab the kids, grab your form and hit the streets.Those elves won’t stay hidden for long.
