This collection has 22 free Elf on the Shelf coloring pages: eight Christmas and indoor mischief scenes, six outdoor or other-season scenes, and eight solo portraits and pattern backgrounds. Every page is black and white on US Letter, downloads as a free PDF, and needs no signup.
Not every page sticks to Christmas — a good chunk of this set puts the elf somewhere unexpected: riding a goat past a farm fence, building a sandcastle on a beach with palm trees, sitting among fall pumpkins with a reindeer, and even perched inside a clock face. That range makes this a set you could realistically use outside December, not just during the holiday countdown.
What’s in this collection
Eight Christmas and indoor mischief scenes, six outdoor or other-season scenes, and eight solo portraits or pattern pages — 22 in total, in the grid below. Each has its own Download PDF and Print button, so you can take one page instead of the whole set.
Christmas and indoor mischief scenes
Eight pages show the elf’s classic holiday antics — popping out of a gift box, sitting on a shelf among houseplants, peeking out by the fireplace, riding a gift-wrapped skateboard, decorating the tree, and tucked inside a stocking. These are the pages that read most like the character’s usual December mischief.
Outdoor and other-season scenes
Six pages take the elf outside the house entirely — next to a fox on a tree stump, sitting with a reindeer among fall pumpkins, riding a goat past a picket fence, building a sandcastle on a beach with palm trees, and sliding down a rainbow near a cauldron. These pages work well any time of year, not just for Christmas.
Solo portraits and patterns
Eight pages keep the focus on the elf alone — a dancing pose against a starburst background, a figure perched inside a clock face, and a few pages filled with a repeating pattern of elf faces, candy canes, or wrapped candy. These are good pages for practicing color blending across a busy background.
How to print these
Every page is US Letter (8.5 × 11 in), pure black and white, with the drawing inside the printable margin. Plain copy paper is fine; choose “Fit to page” if your printer asks. The repeating-pattern pages have the most small shapes to fill in, so a fresh cartridge keeps those crisp.
