Kids love imagining what elves do all year at the North Pole. While coloring, ask which job they would want: painting toys, wrapping presents or caring for the reindeer. Elves are usually dressed in green and red with striped stockings, but kids can invent new outfits. These pages keep hands busy in the December weeks when excitement runs high.
Striped stockings and hats are a good place to practice patterns. Choose two colors and alternate them stripe by stripe. Add a jingle bell sticker to the tip of each hat for a finishing touch.
