Operation E.L.F. - 25 Adventures Around the World

One Christmas morning. 25 adventures. A lifetime of discovery.

Christmas is where the adventure begins.

What if a Christmas present could take your child on an adventure around the world - without ever leaving home?

Operative E.L.F. is travelling the globe, leaving a trail of clues, challenges and extraordinary discoveries across 25 countries. And now, your young explorer has been invited to follow!

From icy Norwegian fjords to fascinating places around the world, each mission introduces a new destination, a new mystery and something wonderful to investigate.

This isn't just a collection of activities. It's an invitation to become curious about the world, ask questions, experiment, solve problems and discover how things work.

What's inside the Explorer Box?

Everything your young adventurer needs to begin their mission:

• 25 illustrated country missions - engaging challenges that combine storytelling, investigation and hands-on discovery.

• Explorer Field Journal - a special notebook for recording observations, ideas, questions and discoveries.

• Explorer Passport - to accompany the journey around the world.

• Illustrated, colour A3 world map - to follow the adventure from country to country.

• Bamboo pen and wooden ruler - practical equipment for a budding explorer.

• Explorer equipment - including Pebble Patience challenge, and several other gifts to open on Christmas Day.

• Confidential mission briefing - to introduce the adventure and set the journey in motion.

• Official Acorn Explorer certificate - a special recognition of curiosity, creativity, determination and discovery, awarded at the end of the adventure.

All presented in a beautifully illustrated, letterbox-style explorer box.

International orders: UK wildflower seeds are not included. An empty seed envelope is provided for locally sourced native seeds.

Two editions. One extraordinary adventure.

Every young explorer is different. Some love to dive straight into an adventure, while others enjoy digging deeper, asking more questions and exploring every possibility.

That's why Operation E.L.F. comes in two editions.

Adventurer Edition - Explore, Discover, Create

For curious children who enjoy hands-on challenges, fascinating discoveries and learning through doing.

The Adventurer edition makes each mission accessible and engaging, encouraging children to observe, investigate, experiment and develop their confidence as explorers.

Investigator Edition - Question, Investigate, Think Deeper

For curious minds who enjoy an extra layer of challenge.

The Investigator edition follows the same worldwide adventure but invites children to investigate more deeply, consider evidence, make connections and develop their own explanations.

The same 25-country adventure. Two different depths of discovery.

Neither edition is about being better or further ahead. It's about choosing the experience that best suits your child's curiosity, confidence and preferred way of exploring.

An adventure that doesn't end on Christmas Day

Just add children - and let the adventures begin.

Because the best Christmas presents don't just keep children busy. They spark curiosity that lasts long after the wrapping paper is gone.

PLEASE NOTE: If you are purchasing for outside of the UK, we will not ship the wildflower seeds. We will include the envelope in case you want to add some species that are indigenous to your region, but we cannot send UK wildflower seeds with the box. We apologise in advance for any disappointment this might cause.
