Super Fun Christmas Elf Craft For Kids
STEP ONE: add an introduction
his Christmas season help your children beat the winter blues with some colourful craft activities. If your child is old enough or artistically-inclined from a very young age, this activity is quite wholesome for them as it includes cutting, pasting, colouring, and writing.
If your child is not a toddler anymore, they’ll find this craft project to be challenging but not too difficult. On the other hand, if they are a toddler, they will require your help with the cutting and pasting of this adorable little elf figure.
If you’ve got your hands full preparing for Christmas and New Year Celebrations, this activity will help keep your kids busy and out of the way leaving you with time to go about your chores.
This set even features a section in which your child would have to fill out their ideas on how they can catch an elf. This would compel them to use their rich imagination and come up with creative ways to set up a trap for Santa’s little helpers.
Be prepared to read some truly funny, adorable answers from your little one here.
Read on for details on how you can use this set and the supplies you’ll need for it.
