Elf your students+freebie

I know, I know….Christmas is over! 🙁 But, I never got around to posting this. Maybe you’ll find something that you can save for next year:) These little elves are one of my favorite projects that we do all year. It is one that parents love.

Aren’t they adorable?! Yes, those are their own ears:) I use the distortion tool in Paint Shop to stretch out their ears. If you look closely at the first one, you can see that she has earrings in:)
If you ever decide to do this, you will find that some kids have GREAT ears for this and some kids have TINY ears that seem to be stuck to their heads.  You will need to make sure hair is pulled back and out of the way. For the kids with those kind of ears-I have found that sticking cotton balls behind their ears makes them stick out just enough to be able to grab them with the distortion tool  and stretch them into elf ears:)

On the day before X-Mas break, we always wrap up our parent gifts to take home. Before we wrap our gifts, we make these little elf hats:) These are equally adorable!! I don’t remember where I originally saw this idea, but we have been doing it for a couple of years now. So cute watching Santa’s little elves wrapping up their gifts!!

And, here’s your freebie:) Hope you enjoy this little elf book page! You can print out your kiddo’s elf faces to stick on these. click on the picture below to get your copy!

    I am obsessed with the elf hats!! Could you please let me know how to make the cones? I can figure out the ears and decorations, but I’m stumped on how you got the tall skinny cone shapes!!

    You can email me at allison.p.dean@gmail.com

We are who we are due to our lives and our experie We are who we are due to our lives and our experiences. You have not experienced what I have, and I have not experienced what you have. Sometimes it’s not fair. I understand that. I PROMISE you...you will be a BETTER person by talking to people who are NOT like you!!! And they will be better to know and learn from you. You’re not going to change someone’s mind with one comment, or one conversation. But, I promise that the conversation WILL make a difference. Different perspectives help us grow and learn. We are educators, y’all!!!! The name-calling and tit for tat comments have to stop. Judging someone and treating someone horribly without talking to them about their perspective says A LOT about who YOU are. (I’m sure I’ll be called plenty of names over this post. And I’m sure people will twist my words into whatever they want them to be. I’m ok with that. Im FAR from perfect and all-knowing. I’m tired of worrying and I’m tired of people being MEAN.) If you truly want to make a difference, BE THE EDUCATOR YOU CLAIM TO BE.) That is all.
Before I even knew what happened I was saying “H Before I even knew what happened I was saying “How?” How does this happen with no shots fired?! Our president tweets “Remember this day forever.” Yes. Let’s!!! Will this make it into our History books?? Disgusting. I’m in tears seeing where our Nation is at right now.
