Free Elf Wrapping Holiday Presents Coloring Page

Capture the essence of holiday prep in this delightful coloring page that features a wide-eyed elf sitting cross-legged, tying together a satin bow around a sturdy gift box. Her pointed hat with a soft pom-pom tilts to the side playfully, and her floppy ears frame her smile. She has wrapped packages of varying sizes towering all around her, some even tied with crisp, beautiful bows in every color and some wrapped ever so beautifully we just can't see the bows. Nothing says busy workshop like beautiful packaging.

Use vibrant reds for the ribbons, greens for the buttons on her tunic, and some metallic shine on all the boxes to brighten things up ready for the seasonal gift giving. This free printable encourages every young artist to think about a texture or two, like the velvety outfit, and thinks about textured crinkled wrapping papers and bows.

Best of all, it allows for a wonderful learning opportunity with a call for every student to remember that it's better to give than receive while they think of every stroke as they create. Seeing in a world of the elf with happy twinkling eyes and fast eager fingers, the simple coloring outline turns into a magical Yuletide wonder that warms your heart and inspires do-it-yourself enthusiast on cold winter nights.
