About Christmas Elf coloring pages

Elves work hard in Santa's workshop, and our Christmas elf coloring pages show them at their happiest. One elf carries a giant polka-dot gift with a big bow, and another waves with a bell on the tip of his hat beside a pile of presents.

Elves usually wear green and red, with striped stockings and pointy shoes. Try a bright green suit with red trim, gold bells and rosy cheeks. The gifts can be any color your child likes.

How to use Christmas elf coloring pages for learning

  1. Elf jobs. Talk about the jobs elves might do in the workshop, like wrapping, painting or packing. Draw an elf doing one.

  2. Helper of the day. Ask your child to be an elf helper at home for one task, then color the page as a reward.

  3. Name your elf. Give the elf a name and write it on the page. Older kids can write one sentence about the elf's day.

  4. Gift count. Count the presents around the elf and color the biggest one first.
