5 Creative Ways to Use Fantasy Elf Coloring Pages
If you’re wondering what can you do once you color these beautiful mythical creatures, here are five fun craft ideas to help you get started:
1. Storybook Page
Once kids have colored their fantasy elf pages, turn their artwork into a page of a storybook! Ask them to create a short story about their elf’s magical world. Who is their elf? What is their special power? Teachers and parents can help them write a few sentences below the artwork, binding the pages together to create their very own illustrated fantasy book!
Fun Fact: In many myths, elves are believed to have the power of invisibility and are often guardians of nature!
2. Make a Fantasy Elf Wall of Fame
Once the coloring pages are complete, hang them up to display the magical elf kingdom! Add some cool fairy lights or glittery stars around the art to give it that enchanted forest vibe. You can even give each elf a name and let the kids vote on their favorite or come up with backstories for each character.
Fun Fact: Elves are often associated with the forest in folklore, especially protecting trees and animals. They’re the original eco-warriors!
3. Create Elf Puppets
Cut out the colored elves and attach them to craft sticks or cardboard to create your own elf puppets. The kids can put on a magical puppet show, acting out epic elf adventures! Teachers can use this as a fun classroom activity, encouraging group storytelling and teamwork.
Fun Fact: In Tolkien’s world, think Lord of the Rings, elves are known for their agility, intelligence, and their incredibly long lifespans, often living for thousands of years!
4. Design an Enchanted Elf Village
Encourage children to build a 3D elf village out of their colored elves! They can craft little houses from paper or cardboard, then add their colored elf characters to the scene. It’s a creative way to mix art with hands-on crafting. You can guide kids to use recycled materials to make trees, mountains, and rivers for the village.
Fun Fact: Elves in some legends are also skilled craftsmen, making intricate jewelry, swords, and magical items. Maybe your village can even have a little elven blacksmith shop!
5. Homemade Board Game
Laminate the colored elves and use them as player pieces in a homemade board game! Kids can work together to create the game board with their elves moving through different fantasy lands, forests, mountains, and magical castles. Teachers can use this as a fun learning activity by adding questions or challenges at each game stop.
Fun Fact: Some stories portray elves as skilled healers with deep knowledge of herbs and potions, always ready to heal the sick or wounded in their world!
