Why You’ll Love This Idea

The Printable Elf on the Shelf Art Supplies is a fun and unique way to engage your kids with their elf. These art supplies encourage children to express themselves creatively, adding an educational twist to the holiday tradition. Each morning, they’ll be eager to see what their elf has been up to and may even be inspired to create their own Christmas drawings alongside their elf friend with the prompt cards.

This printable art supplies set is also incredibly versatile and easy to use. With just a few clicks, you can print everything you need for your elf to become a mini artist. It’s the perfect solution for busy parents who want to add a little extra magic without spending too much time or money. The included Christmas drawing prompts make it easy to set up an interactive scene that encourages creativity and exploration, all while keeping the Christmas spirit alive.

How to Use the Printable Elf on the Shelf Art Supplies

Using the Printable Elf on the Shelf Art Supplies is simple and adds a special touch to your elf’s setup. Here’s a step-by-step guide:

1. Download and Print: Start by downloading the printable file (enter your email address in the download box and the bottom of the page) and printing it on sturdy paper. Cardstock works great for durability, especially for items like the easel and canvas that need to stand.
2. Cut and Assemble: Carefully cut out each item (I find that an Xacto knife works wonders for the detailed small areas), including the easel, canvas, paint jars, and brushes. Assembling the easel is easy just cut and fold. Next, position the art supplies to make the scene look realistic.
3. Arrange Your Elf’s Art Studio: Set up the easel, place the canvas, and arrange the tiny paint jars around it. Position your elf as if they’re getting ready to paint or have just finished a masterpiece.
4. Add the Christmas Drawing Prompts: The set includes six Christmas-themed drawing prompts for children to complete, like drawing a Candy Cane or a snowman. Place these cut out prompts near the elf to encourage your kids to get creative themselves.

Bonus Tip: Each day, you could “change” the artwork on the canvas by adding new drawings your elf “painted” overnight. Use different prompts each day for your children to try out their own versions! And feel free to glue the canvases to a piece of cardboard to give them a thicker more traditional canvas look.

Fun Ideas for Using the Printable Elf on the Shelf Art Supplies

There are so many ways to make this printable set a part of your elf’s holiday adventures! Here are some ideas to keep your elf’s art activities fresh:

• Holiday Art Gallery: Set up a mini art gallery by taping your children’s completed drawings around the elf’s canvas. Your elf can be “hosting” a Christmas art show!
• Interactive Painting Lessons: Leave a “note” from your elf inviting your children to draw their own versions of the elf’s paintings. Each day, add a new piece of “art” that your elf “created” for extra fun!
• Seasonal Art Challenges: Change up the Christmas drawing prompts by adding new seasonal challenges. You could add prompts like “draw your favorite holiday memory” or “design a new winter hat for your elf.”
• Elf Art Supplies Scavenger Hunt: Hide the tiny art supplies around the house, and create a fun scavenger hunt for your children to find them. Once they find each piece, they can help the elf set up their art station.

Using these ideas, you can keep your children engaged all season long, building a connection with their elf and bringing creativity to their holiday traditions. I love that so many kids and adults have so much fun with this simple holiday tradition.

Variations for Using the Printable Elf on the Shelf Art Supplies

Looking for a few creative twists? Here are some variations on the original Printable Elf on the Shelf Art Supplies:

• Winter Wonderland Background: Print a winter-themed background and place it behind your elf’s art station to create a cozy holiday scene.
• Mini “Art Show”: Place several mini “canvases” around the elf, each featuring different holiday scenes, and call it an “elf art show.” Your children will love seeing what your elf “painted.”
• Add Real Mini Paint Supplies: Use dollhouse-sized paintbrushes and mini paint tubes to mix in with the printable set, adding even more realism to your elf’s art setup.
• Combine with Other Printables: If you’ve printed other Elf on the Shelf accessories (I have more listed at the end of the post), mix and match! For example, you could place the elf’s art supplies next to a mini Christmas tree printable for a festive scene.
