The Elf on the Shelf is typically dressed in a red outfit with white trim. His hat matches the suit, and his collar is also white. His face is usually a light peach or beige tone, and his eyes are blue or brown. His gloves are white, and his shoes can be black or a dark red shade. If you prefer a different variation, some versions of the elf have green or patterned outfits.
A Christmas tree is usually green, with shades like forest green, emerald, or pine green. Darker tones can be used for shaded areas, while lighter greens highlight the tips of branches. Snow-covered branches can be accented with white and light blue. The tree trunk is usually brown, though it is sometimes hidden behind decorations.

Christmas ornaments come in a variety of colors, with red, gold, silver, blue, and green being the most common. Shiny ornaments can have white highlights to create a reflective effect. Striped or patterned designs can incorporate multiple colors, and metallic finishes can be illustrated using shading and gradients.
Snowy landscapes are generally white, but using pale blue or light gray for shadows can add more realism. Soft gradients can create a more natural snow effect, and hints of silver or icy blue may give the appearance of shimmering snow.
A snowman is traditionally white, with light blue or gray shading to define its shape. Its hat is often black, and its scarf and mittens can be red, green, blue, or plaid. The carrot nose is orange, while the eyes, mouth, and buttons are black or dark gray.
Presents can be colored in any combination of festive colors. Common choices include red and gold, blue and silver, or green and white. Ribbons and bows often contrast with the main wrapping color, such as a red bow on a green gift or a gold ribbon on a blue box. Patterns like stripes or polka dots can add more variety.
A gingerbread man is usually light or dark brown, resembling baked gingerbread. White icing outlines the edges and forms details like eyes, a smile, and decorative patterns. Buttons can be red, green, or blue, and additional icing details may be colored in pastel shades or bright holiday colors.
Hot chocolate is typically a rich brown, representing the cocoa. If topped with marshmallows, they should be white with light gray shading. A mug can be any color, though red, green, blue, or white with holiday patterns are common choices.
Art Projects with Elf on the Shelf Coloring Pages
One idea is to turn colored Elf on the Shelf coloring pages into Christmas cards. After coloring the page, cut out the elf design and glue it onto a folded piece of cardstock. You can add a holiday message, stickers, or glitter for extra decoration. This makes a personalized greeting card that can be shared with friends and family.
Another option is to create a holiday garland using multiple Elf on the Shelf coloring sheets. Print several pages, color them, and cut out the elf figures. Punch holes at the top of each one and string them together with ribbon or twine. This garland can be hung on a wall, across a fireplace, or around a Christmas tree.
Another fun idea is to use Elf on the Shelf coloring pages to make a Christmas countdown calendar. Print and number different coloring pages from 1 to 25, then color one each day leading up to Christmas. Display the pages on a wall or bulletin board to create an interesting way to mark the days until the holiday.
For a simple and decorative craft, you can turn colored Elf on the Shelf coloring pictures into ornaments. Once the image is colored, cut it out, laminate it for durability, and punch a hole at the top. Attach a ribbon and hang it on the Christmas tree as a handmade ornament.
