Print your elf craft template onto white paper or cardstock. Paper is fine for this activity but using cardstock will make it more durable.
Color in all of the parts of your elf that you will be using. You can also color the candy cane and present if you'd like to use these.
Using scissors, carefully cut out all the different pieces.
Glue the head onto the body of your elf and stick the legs onto the back of your elf. Glue their belt onto their body.
Glue the paper bell onto the end of your elf's hat and then stick this onto the top of their head.
