Download the elf handprint card template, print and cut out the pieces.

Take a piece of skin colored paper and fold in half "hamburger" style and position your child's left hand along the folded end so the pinky lines up with the fold. Trace the handprint and cut out.

Begin by assembling the elf's hat. Glue the red hat trim to the bottom of the green hat.

Take the white puffball and glue to the tip of the hat.

Take the completed elf hat and place it over the three middle fingers, leaving the thumb and pinky above the hat. Glue in place.

Trim off the excess paper that sticks out from behind the hat.

Glue the eyes just below the hat.

Use the black marker to draw on a smile.

Stick the red pom pom on with some glue or a glue dot, right below the eyes.

Place the elf's neck trim behind the back of the handprint card and glue in place.
