Elf on a Shelf Next to a Tiny Christmas Tree

A little elf with huge sparkly eyes sits on a flat shelf with its legs hanging over the edge. It wears a floppy Santa-style hat with a wide band and a fluffy pom-pom at the tip, and its pointed ears peek out from under the hat. The elf has a small smile, a zigzag collar, cuffed sleeves and a plain tunic with lots of open space. Next to it on the shelf sits a tiny Christmas tree in a little pot, topped with a star and decorated with scalloped tiers and small dots. Try coloring the hat and collar in bright reds and greens, then use soft pastel shades for the tunic so the big eyes stand out. This free printable also works well for a quick holiday craft table, since kids can practice staying inside the lines on the tree tiers and the round pom-pom.
