Build A Buddy the Elf Printable

My Christmas characters, including this adorable elf, have been featured in festive printables over the years, but I’ve never turned them into buildable crafts… until now!

The best way to spread Christmas cheer is by singing loud for all to hear! If you love the movie Elf, then you have to download and make your own this Christmas!

There are over 100 Free Christmas Printables on The Purple Pumpkin Blog!

Introducing Buddy the Elf!

Buddy the Elf Minifig

If you are a regular on my blog you’ll notice that my characters have a cute chubby style, and if they are animals they are anthropomorphic, which basically means that they have human traits – like standing on two legs instead of four. They get names too!

As with [most of] my printables, they are available in two paper sizes – A4 and US Letter (8.5″ x 11″)

Download your chosen printable from the list further down the page (they’re surrounded by a purple box), and print onto thick paper or thin card. Cut the pieces out, then build Buddy the Elf!

Included with this printable elf craft are the following pieces:

  • Body (with eyes, mouth, nose, and rosy cheeks)
  • Arms
  • Feet
  • Hat
  • Jacket
  • Belt
  • Leggings

You’ll find the Color and Build Buddy the Elf over in the Purple Pumpkin Printables Shop.

Free Printable Build A Buddy The Elf

I’ve created two sizes for Buddy the Elf: Regular size, which is what you see above, with all of the pieces on one sheet of paper; and Large size with bigger pieces spread over several sheets.

The regular-size printable is for children that are more skilled at cutting. The large size should be a lot easier for younger children. Or you could cut them out for them. Of course, you know your children, so will know what suits them best!

You can stick the pieces together if you wish using glue or tape. Or you could use a laminator and laminate the pieces and use them over and over again.

You could mount Buddy onto a larger piece of construction paper and use other craft materials to embellish it – furry material, glitter glue, googly eyes, sequins, buttons, or tissue paper, for example.

Most of all, just have fun with this printable!
