How to Use the Build Your Own Elf Printable Template

Let’s get started!

First, grab your free elf template PDF from the end of this blog post and print it out.

You can print on white cardstock for the best durability, or on regular printer paper for easier cutting.

If your kiddos are eager to add their own splash of color, go for the black and white versions.

All you need is a glue stick, scissors and why not throw in some pom poms for that extra fluff, and maybe even a child’s face photo if you want to make it super personal. Assembling your paper elf craft is as easy as cut, paste the pieces of the elf, and giggle at the cute elf face staring back at you.

You could choose colored card as your base when gluing the pieces, or add your own text for a Christmas message to go along side your elf.

Free Printable Elf Template Pages Included

These free printables come with 6 pages, two different versions of the elf. A full color version and the second option of a black and white only template, suitable for those who want to use less printer ink or for those kids who want to customise their own elf with their favorite ideas and colors.

It’s a whole lot of fun to draw patterns and designs on your own elf and for some kids that opportunity for creativity within the craft is the best part. Whereas for some smaller kids, the option to have it ready colored with instant results is more suitable.

Kids can even customise more by adding glitter, sequins or glue cotton balls onto the cute hat template – the choice is yours.
