Love It or Hate It, the Elf Is Coming: Get a Full Month of Free Elf Printables!
It happens every year. December arrives, the holiday decorations go up, and suddenly that little elf is back, expecting you to come up with a new idea every single night.
Whether you love the tradition or quietly regret ever starting it, the Elf on the Shelf has become part of the holiday season for many families. The kids adore waking up to see where the elf landed, but remembering to move it and inventing something clever at the end of a long day... can be a lot.
That’s why I created an entire month of free Elf on the Shelf printables. They’re easy to prepare, simple to use, and designed to make the tradition fun for your little ones without creating more work for you.
Everything You Need for a Month of Elf Fun
The printable collection includes activities, accessories, letters, and props that you can use throughout the entire month. Print everything at once and keep the pages tucked away, or choose only the ideas that work for your family.
Inside the collection, you’ll find:
A child-sized Christmas wish list with tiny elf-sized wish list
A welcome letter for your elf’s arrival
A goodbye letter for the end of the season
A printable elf passport
Room stamps for the passport
Masks and costume pieces
Funny speech bubbles and comments
Easy activities and imaginative elf scenes
Plenty of additional pages to keep the fun going all month
Send Your Elf on an Around-the-House Adventure
One of my favorite activities in the collection is the elf passport. Each time your elf visits another room in the house, your child can add a matching stamp to the passport.
Did the elf visit the kitchen? Add the kitchen stamp. Was the elf discovered in the laundry room, playroom, bedroom, bathroom, office, or garage? There’s a stamp for that, too!
It turns the daily search for the elf into a month-long adventure and gives children a fun keepsake to look back on when the elf returns to the North Pole.
A Wish List for Everyone — Even the Elf
The collection also includes two coordinating wish lists: a full-sized version for your child and a miniature version for the elf.
Children can write down what they are hoping for this Christmas while imagining what their elf might request from Santa. Candy canes? Jingle bells? Extra wrapping paper? A vacation after December? The elf-sized wish list is a simple way to inspire storytelling, writing, and lots of giggles.
Easy Setup for Busy Grown-Ups
These printables are meant to make December easier. You don’t need an elaborate display, special supplies, or hours of preparation. Most activities can be printed, cut out, and set up in just a few minutes.
Add one of the printable masks, place a speech bubble beside your elf, or move the elf into a different room and add a new passport stamp. Your children still get the magic and excitement, and you get a ready-made idea when it’s already past bedtime and you almost forgot to move the elf.

Use the collection in whichever way is easiest for you.

Whether you’re an enthusiastic elf parent or someone who wonders every December why you started this tradition, these printables can help make the month easier, sillier, and more magical for the little ones.
Because love it or hate it, the elf is here. You might as well let the printables do some of the work!
