Make Your Own Christmas Elf Coloring Book
Print all eight elf pages and staple them together – you have a little Christmas elf coloring book! Add a cover: fold a sheet of paper, write "My Elf Coloring Book" and decorate it with stars. It makes a great Advent activity: color two elf pages each weekend in December, or put the book in a stocking.
Who Are Santa's Elves?
In Christmas stories, elves live at the North Pole and work all year in Santa's workshop. They make toys, wrap presents, feed the reindeer and check the naughty-and-nice list. Our pages show elves doing what they do best: wrapping presents, carrying a giant candy cane and smiling in a big elf face.
Classic Elf Colors
- Green and red: the traditional elf outfit – green coat, red hat or the other way round.
- Striped stockings: red-and-white or green-and-white stripes.
- Gold bells and buckles: use yellow or a gold gel pen.
- Pointy ears and rosy cheeks: a light peach skin tone with pink cheeks.
Elf Activities for Kids
- Name your elf: write a funny elf name under the picture – Jingle, Sparkle, Twinkle or Snowdrop.
- Elf job: draw the toy your elf is making.
- Elf on the shelf letter: color a page and leave it for your family's elf with a note.
- Elf hunt: hide colored elves around the house for siblings to find.
