Sweet Christmas Crafts to Make With Your Elf Coloring Pages
One of my favorite things about Christmas coloring pages is that the fun doesn’t have to stop once the crayons are put away! If your little ones are especially proud of their colorful elves, here are two sweet ways to turn their artwork into something special.
Make a Little Elf Christmas Card
I think homemade Christmas cards are just the sweetest, especially when they’re made by little hands! Let your child choose their favorite elf coloring page, color it in, and carefully cut out their finished character.
Glue the elf onto a folded piece of cardstock, add a few paper snowflakes or a sprinkle of glitter, and write a little Christmas message inside. It makes such a lovely card for grandparents, teachers, or someone special.
Create Your Own North Pole Elf Garland
This would be adorable hanging in a child’s bedroom or across the fireplace at Christmas! Have the kids color a few different elves, choosing their own silly colors and outfits.
Once they’re finished, help them cut out their little characters and attach them to a length of ribbon with mini wooden pegs. You could even add some paper candy canes or Christmas stars between the elves.
Such a simple little afternoon activity, and you end up with a homemade decoration to enjoy all December long!

Elves have always been my favorite part of Christmas — cheerful, creative, and just a little mischievous (kind of like my cousins and me when we used to sneak extra cookies from the kitchen!). There was always something magical about imagining them rushing around Santa’s workshop, laughing, wrapping gifts, and sipping cocoa in between.
These free printable elf coloring pages are my way of sharing that same joy with you — a mix of easy elf coloring pages for quick fun, cute elf coloring pages filled with festive charm, and even a few Christmas female elf coloring pages that bring a little extra sparkle and style to your holiday crafts.
Whether you’re coloring with your kids, decorating your home, or taking a quiet moment for yourself with a warm drink, I hope these pages make your December a little brighter (and a lot more magical).
So grab your coloring tools, turn on your favorite holiday playlist, and let your imagination dance straight to the North Pole. Happy coloring — and merry Christmas from the Elf Squad!
