An elf on the go device that provides a user with a motion activated toy that correlates to an elf on the shelf® toy, the elf on the go device comprising:

• a body component configured in a cube-like shape, comprising a top surface, a bottom surface, opposing sidewalls, a front wall and a back wall, which form a structure for housing various internal components;
• a motion sensor in a shape of a camera lens protruding from the front wall;
• a vibration mechanism;
• and
• a speaker;
• wherein the motion sensor, the vibration mechanism, and the speaker are integrated into the body component;
• wherein the camera lens includes a servo motor for moving the camera lens in conjunction with the motion sensor, allowing it to simulate effect of watching children;
• wherein the speaker plays pre-recorded sounds or music in conjunction with the motion sensor;
• wherein the vibration mechanism is activated in conjunction with the motion sensor and vibrates the body component in response;
• wherein the body component comprises an external light which is a red light located on the front wall and activated in conjunction with the motion sensor;
• wherein the body component houses a processor which acts to communicate with the servo motor, the speaker, the vibration mechanism, the motion sensor, and the external light;
• wherein when the motion sensor is activated, the processor turns on the external red light and the body component will vibrate and the speaker will play pre-recorded audio and the servo motor will move the camera lens as if it were watching the children;
• wherein the body component comprises a strap or a suction cup to allow for mounting the elf on the go device;
• and
• further wherein the body component comprises a wireless communication module which would allow the elf on the go device to pair with a mobile application on a smartphone, once paired, a user could control the elf on the go device via the mobile application.

A method of allowing children to still believe they are being watched by an elf when traveling away from home, the method comprising the following steps:

• providing an elf on the go device comprising a body component with a motion sensor, speaker, and vibration mechanism;
• mounting the device in a vehicle or hotel room via a strap or suction cup;
• turning the device on via the power button;
• when activated via the motion sensor, turning on the red light, vibrating the body component, and playing a pre-recorded audio through the speaker;
• and
• communicating with a paired smartphone to remotely control the device.
