Digital Build An Elf Art Project
No prep Christmas activities for elementary are easy with my engaging, digital art project to build an elf on Google Slides™. Students will practice technology skills with my elf template and step by step art lesson. Then, pick a writing prompt to draft a creative story about their digital elf craft.
Need fun, fast finisher activities for 3rd, 4th, and 5th graders? Digital art projects are paperless, take up no space, and don’t use art materials. Simply assign the elf project using your LMS, and stop worrying about early finishers!
Digital Christmas Elf Templates
This Google Slides Christmas activity includes tech tips and step by step directions with pictures for independent learning. And, kids can build an elf using either copy & paste or drag & drop.
Overview of How to Build an Elf Art Project
First, your students will find the elf builder slide. This is where they’ll copy all the elf body parts onto beginning with the legs. Then, they’ll add shoes, clothes, arms, a head, and hat.
Once they’ve created their elf, they’ll select all the parts and group them together. Then, they’ll copy it into one of the elf workshop slides where they’ll add some fun extras.

This was a fun activity before the winter break for my Library Skills class. Thanks!
I have my students do this as a competition. They design their best elf and then I have other teachers judge the top 3 – 5 and then the class votes on the best of those ones. I have not done the writing part of it.
My students loved this during our holiday party to enhance our creative writing stories!
I like the graphics, students enjoyed this, provided good holiday fun for all
