Download the elf craft template, print, and cut out the pieces you need.

Take 4 popsicle sticks and place them side by side. Cut 2 popsicle sticks into thirds. Stretch a glue dot onto the back of each of the short popsicle sticks, then use them to attach the 4 popsicle sticks together. Repeat this for the top, middle, and bottom of the 4 popsicle sticks.

Flip the 4 popsicle sticks over and paint about 2/3 of it in the skin colored paint. Paint the remaining 1/3 in a bright green paint. Let dry completely.

Assemble the elf's hat by gluing the hat trim to the bottom of the hat. Take the red pom pom and glue it to the tip of the hat.

Glue the completed elf hat to the top of the elf's head.

Place the eyes slightly below the hat and glue in place. Use the black marker to draw on a smile just a bit below his eyes.

Take the pink pom pom and glue it just between the eyes.

Glue the elf's shirt trim where the skin colored paint and the green paint meet.
