As a mom, I began the tradition of having an Elf on our shelf during the holiday season. It brought my own child so much joy to see his elf appear magically each year.
I was inspired by our family tradition to create this. While I do not believe that an elf should be used as a behavior management strategy, I can see how some children might want to know how to draw an elf based on their own experiences.

I created a movie that you can use for yourself or use with your students.
Lastly, here are a few other Elf inspired books and resources that you might like to add to your collection. In my classroom, I like the read The Littlest Elf before our directed drawings. I also love Harry Connick Jr.'s The Happy Elf; the music alone brings a smile.
If you use this in your classroom, I would be so honored if you shared them with me. You can connect with me on Instagram, Facebook or Twitter.
Happy Teaching!
