🖨️ Important: print at 100% (“Actual size”), not “Fit to page”.

1
Color and cut out, including the gaps between the legs.
2
Fold the dash-dot lines backward: the sides fold down and become legs, the top lies on top.
3
Glue the gray corner tabs inside the front and back.
4
Chairs: fold the backrest up at the dashed line and glue the gray strip to the outside of the back.
The Lines on the Template:
━━━ solid = cut · ━ · ━ dash-dot = mountain fold, fold backward · - - - dashed = valley fold, fold forward · ▒ gray area = glue

💡 Tips & Common Mistakes

  • Cut the gaps between the table legs slowly. A small pair of nail scissors helps.
  • Medium build: Plan on about 20 minutes. Kids can color and glue while a grown-up handles the tricky cuts.
  • Do a dry run before gluing and fit the pieces together once. You will see which tab goes where.
  • For children under 3, use small parts only with a grown-up nearby and keep them out of mouths.

🎭 How the Elf Plays With It

Set the table in the kitchen overnight and add paper plates the size of buttons. It looks like your elf had guests. Snap a photo of the finished piece in its spot. It makes a nice December keepsake.
