I have had so many people contact me after seeing these elves on my class website that I thought it would be a great project to create a template for folks to use. Originally, I got the idea for these cuties from an awesome teacher (Ms Wynn) and just sort of changed it a bit over the years, but had never really made a "template"... I just sort of "ballparked" it when I cut out the pieces each year.
Well, today is the day! I finally created a template for you to use. The craft has two choices for the activity page (which is the part that the elf is holding), one is entitled, "For Christmas, I want _____" and the other says "I love the holidays because _______". This craft is perfect for any of your Christmas Thematic Units. Step by step instructions are included on each of the pages. Hope you love it!!

stephaniehaecherl posted on 2011-12-20 19:31:00 This was a really cute activity! The kids loved the elves and using the glyph to describe themselves and their likes/dislikes. It did take more time than I anticipated, but I teach Kindergarten, so even in small groups it takes longer for projects that require large amounts of coloring & details. I took a picture of each child's face and we mounted those to the head to give them more of a personal touch...they looked super cute! :)
