About this resource
One theme, one week, built around an elf craft. Each day is one simple activity -- sort, count, find the letter, a life skill, then a craft where children color a paper elf and its hat, ears, tunic, belt, boots, bell and gift, cut them out, and glue them on to dress the elf. Every student page has one short instruction with a picture, so a paraprofessional can run the room from it too.
This is a stand-alone craft and writing unit. It does not need a book, and it is not tied to any book, author or character.

Three Levels On Every Academic Task
Sort, count, letters and writing each come in three levels, marked with a small shape instead of a
number so children don't compare theirs to a neighbor's.
Cutting Built For Small Hands
Every cutting page carries 5 or more pieces, lined up edge to edge so each cut is one straight line.
Color Or Ink-Saver
Print the color pages, or use the ink-saver twins at the back on a photocopier.
Who This Is For
Any teacher starting a self-contained preschool or early childhood special education classroom who
wants a whole week of circle time, ready to pull and go.
What This Is, And What It Is Not
A print-and-go weekly theme unit. It is not a claim about any student's age or rate of progress, and
it does not reproduce any book, its text, or its artwork.
