Caught with a sly grin, this mischievous little elf sits right on the edge of a shelf, long pointed shoes dangling and hands resting on the ledge. A small framed picture and a candle keep it company on the shelf beside it. The pose is playful and full of personality, which makes it a favorite for kids who love the idea of a cheeky elf turning up around the house. The character and the few shelf objects give a nice mix of areas to color without being overwhelming, so it suits a wide range of ages. It is a great page for inventing a story: what is this little elf up to, and where will it hide next. Many families enjoy the December tradition of a playful elf appearing in new spots each day. Print it on US Letter or A4 and give the elf a bright, sneaky-looking outfit.

Coloring Tips

  • Dangle in style — color the long pointed shoes a bold shade so the dangling legs grab attention.
  • Glow the candle — a warm yellow flame and a soft glow make the shelf scene feel cozy.
  • Frame a memory — color the little framed picture however you like, even drawing a tiny face inside it.
