Elf Christmas countdown calendar cube craft for kids with their own photo as the elf

Now that Halloween’s done and dusted, who’s counting down to Christmas?

Not me, haha. I’m nowhere near ready yet.

But I do have some friends from the North Pole who’ve been preparing ALL year, and they can’t wait for the 25th December to arrive.

It’s the elves, of course! Or your kids, dressed as elves because Santa needs all the helpers he can get.

Elf christmas countdown calendar

Our paper shelf elves are actually cousins of the real elves (shhhh, don’t tell anyone).

They’re ready to sit on your shelves to decorate for the season, but watch they don’t start causing mischief.

Every elf knows that Christmas isn’t the same without a DIY photo ornament keepsake, like the elf stars included in this bundle. They’re super quick and easy to make.

You can also use them as personalised gift tags for somebody special (I’m sure Nana would love one!)

All three elf projects include full colour elves with a range of skin tones to match your photo, plus a cute cartoon version if you don’t want to make photo ornaments.

There’s also a colour-vour own version if you want the activity to keep the kids busy for longer.
