Five little elves went out one day, and hopped up into Santas sleigh!
Santa Claus said ho, ho, ho, ho!
And all of the five little elves said, Go!
This crafty play set is inspired by one of our favorite Super Simple Christmas songs:Five Little Elves!
PRO TIP: This song and play set is also great to practice counting!
Try counting how many elves are in the sleigh.
Or ask, how many are outside the sleigh?
Any holiday craft that doubles as an educational tool is a Santa-slam-dunk!
Lets get busy crafting, little elves!
Things Youll Need
Steps
Lets start with Santas sleigh!
We are making Santas sleigh from a tissue box!
Use scissors to carefully away to top of the tissue box.
Use red paint and a paintbrush to paint the small ends of the tissue box red.
Cut out the sleigh from theFive Little Elves Play Set printable!
If you printed thecoloring sheet versionbe sure to color it in first!
Glue the cut outs to either side of the tissue box.
Now your sleigh is ready!
Lets make the little elves to go inside!
Heres how to do it!
Paint the top of your cardboard tube with various skin-toned shades of paint and set them aside to dry.
Glue the strip into place and use a piece of clear tape for added security.
Cut the circle in half.
We are going to use one half of the circle to make an elf hat!
Use a glue stick to glue the overlapping paper in place to make your hat!
Secure it with a piece of tape.
TIP: Use the other half of the circle to make a hat for another elf!
To make the belt buckle, cut out a square of yellow paper.
Fold it in half and cut away the inner square.
Glue it in place onto the belt.
For the collar, cut a piece of ribbon and trim the ends at an angle.
Add a small button or pom pom with glue to dress it up.
Now lets make our elfs ears, a very important step!
Then cut down from the top of the tube along this line and gently fold the ears forward!
Stick the yarn in place and fill in the center of the head with squiggles of yarn.
We are almost done!
To finish our elfs face, add some small googly eyes with your glue gun.
This elf is ready for a ride in Santas sleigh!
it’s possible for you to make the rest of the elves and Santa by following the same instructions.
For Santa, simply use red paper to make Santas hat and coat.
We also added a white wooly beard to his face using some white wool and the glue gun.
Santa will want some rosy cheeks and we also added a small pink pom pom for his nose!
