Supplies:

• paint (tan/light brown and green)
• permanent markers (black, green, and red)
• fingers (thumb and index)
• laminator and sheets (optional)
• 1/2 sheet white construction paper

Steps:

1. Dip your thumb into the green paint and place it onto the paper. This will be the elf's body. Dip your index finger into the tan/light brown paint and place it above the green print. This will be the elf's head. Repeat for as many elves as you want. Allow to dry.

 
2. Take the red or green marker and draw a Santa hat on top of each elf. Add the white fuzzy ball and trim with the black marker. Take the black marker and add the legs, arms, and facial features. Use the green or red marker for the shoes. This step is reflected in the main photo!

3. Laminate for durability, if you choose!
