Materials needed for an easy Santa’s Elf craft
This elf cut and paste craft is available in both color and black and white. There are two different skin tones so your early learners can pick whichever they prefer. Don’t let your elf get lonely! Make sure to download this Santa cut and paste craft, too. My daughter likes to trace and write the word on her cut and paste worksheets before coloring or cutting out the pieces. It’s easiest for little learners to write on the page while it’s still intact.
Your free printable (look for the row of purple arrows pointing at the download button) Printer access and paper or card stock Blunt tipped scissors Glue stick Preschool pencil or something else to write and trace with Colored pencils or crayons, if you’re using the coloring page version
Coloring the elf face is easiest before cutting out the pieces. Next, cut out the pieces. Glue the pieces together to make an elf face. For best results, glue the hat and brim together, add the bell to the tip of the hat, glue the hair to the elf’s face, then add the hat over top of the hair. That’s it! This is a super easy, no-prep craft that your kids will be enjoying just minutes from now. Glue your completed elf face to a large craft stick to quickly and easily make a stick puppet.
