Christmas Elf Kit: 14 Printable Pages, Ages 3–8

What’s included

• Fillable elf arrival letter (child’s name, elf’s name, P.S.)
• Fillable goodbye letter for Christmas Eve (name, favorite memory, a proud moment)
• 24 elf note cards, one for each day, matching the idea list
• 24 easy elf ideas (2 pages), such as a book fort, a cotton ball snowball fight and a sticky-note footprint trail
• “Elf Watch” tracker with a fillable name
• 8 blank note cards
• Paper elf stand-up
• Elf coloring page
• How-to page with safety tips and a thank-you page

What it practices

• Reading or listening: a short note from the elf for each day
• Looking carefully: finding the elf each morning for the Elf Watch page
• Early writing and drawing: a word or a tiny picture on the Elf Watch page
• Coloring: the color-your-elf page
• Pretend play: following along with the elf’s daily notes

Who it’s for

• Parents who want a December elf tradition with little setup
• Families with or without a toy elf, since the kit has a paper elf stand-up
• Original TinyMapleCo design, not affiliated with any toy or book brand

Printing

• Print at “Actual size / 100%” in your print dialog.
• US Letter and A4 files are both included. Use the one that matches your paper.
• Use cardstock (180–250 gsm / 65–90 lb cover) for the note cards and the paper elf. Plain paper works for the letters and the Elf Watch page.
• Type the names before you print: open the PDF on a computer in the free Adobe Acrobat Reader. You can also write by hand.
• There is no separate black-and-white file. To save ink, you can choose grayscale in your printer dialog; colors will print as gray.
