Do you have what it takes to be a North Pole Elf? Your students will have a great time filling out their very own Elf application. This colorful display will help to brighten your walls this holiday season. Students can assemble these cute elves in a snap, just peel and stick pieces together. They are so easy and fun, my students love using these pre-assembled craft kits. Be sure to download the Free Elf Application Printable here!

They gave reasons why their Elf would be the best Elf applicant for Santa. They made a pretty convincing case. Several had prior experience, were speedy wrappers, loved all things sparkly and most were frequently on the nice list.
Once all of the applications were complete I created this fun bulletin board by layering several border trims like the tree border trim and red chevron border. I love layering borders for a colorful effect. I added them on top of the wooden paper. I just love the different textures. To add some dimension I added tissue paper snowflakes and green polka dot fans to the corners. To attach the elves easily I used some burlap ribbon to create a place to clip my elves. This is a great way to interchange work without the hassle of redoing a board each time. It saves me a lot of time and frustration, especially when I exchange projects so frequently.
One of these lucky elves will become our classroom elf, I wonder which applicant will get the job.
