We think these Puppet Elf Christmas Cards are super cute and loads of fun! They’re really easy to make using the printable template.

Each Christmas elf card opens up so you can write your message inside and is also a cute puppet on a popsicle stick that can be played with too! A Christmas card and puppet in one!

The Elf Christmas card template comes in full colour and B/W. The colour template has 7 multicultural skin colours and two hats and pompoms to choose from. The B/W template can either be coloured in or traced around onto coloured cardstock.

Please note the elf cards in the photographs have been made with the addition of wiggle eyes and a pompom nose and hat trim but paper versions are included in the template if you prefer.

(Post and template updated 17/7/20 There is a small charge.)
