A couple of weeks back, my daughter and I were in one of our local Wal-Marts. We always check out the dumb claw machines for cool "buddies", (her term for stuffed animals). I screwed up on the big prize, and instead won this dumb little fart instead:

She was instantly very dissatisfied. The irony of it all, is that she actually asked for this guy. There was another one with his back pressed against the window. But when I won this one and she saw his face, she hated it.
At any rate, now that you know how we happened across this little bugger, I'll explain the prank my wife and I have been doing to this poor child of ours. We pretend he is alive, and randomly place him around the house in areas where our daughter typically goes. Her dollhouse, her bed on her pillows, her favourite spots in the living room.
This started off with magnificent results. Random loud grunts of frustration echoing throughout the house, some stomping, and him being whipped at us saying "I DON'T WANT HIM!!!" It's starting to wear off though, as now she is taking the nice approach. She just calmly brings him to one of us and says that he is actually ours and walks away.
TL;DR My kid hates a stuffy and we keep introducing him back into our daughter's spaces with funny results.
Do you guys do anything similar to torment your wee ones??
I'm looking forward to this year, my daughter is a little older so she can maybe appreciate some of the mischief I'd like the elf to get into haha.
