- Colored pencils or markers
- Scissors
- Glue stick

- Pencil for poking holes
🏡 Setup Idea at the Elf Door
Poke two holes at the top of the planets (adults help), thread a string through and hang the garland over the elf door. Add the “Space Station” sign.
🎲 Play Idea With the Set
The elf launches on a mission every night. Kids write the mission on the astronaut ID, maybe the Moon, Mars or the North Pole. Every morning they cross off a box on the countdown card.
💡 Tips
- Hang the garland on a long string and the planets will swing with every draft.
- Print at 100% and switch off “fit to page” so the pieces stay elf-sized.
- Cut roughly first, then trim along the lines. That keeps tiny pieces neat.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Is there a matching rocket?
Yes, the rocket fold-up in the elf world section goes with it.
Until when does the countdown run?
The card counts from 24 to 3, so it runs until just before Christmas.
Can we reuse the set next year?
Yes. Store the finished pieces in an envelope or a cookie tin with your holiday decorations.
Which paper works best?
Plain printer paper is fine for coloring. Pieces that stand up or get folded hold their shape better on heavy cardstock (65–110 lb).
