Elf Letters: Daily Letters Week 1

Six short elf daily letters for December 1 to 6, two per page to cut out

A short elf letter every evening builds up lots of excitement. These elf daily letters for the first week of December cover December 1 to 6.

✉️ What's in This Letter Pack

Three pages with two letters each to cut out. Every letter has a date, a short story, and often a tiny task for kids, like finding a lonely sock, drawing a snowflake, or setting out a crumb. Each letter takes about a minute to read aloud.

Letters Included

Page 1 is a cover sheet for parents with a page overview and tips. The letters themselves carry no logo and no page number, so they look as if the elf wrote them.

Page 2
December 1 and 2
“December is here”: the elf explores the home and wants to see the calendar. “Sock alert”: he's hunting for the one lonely sock.
Page 3
December 3 and 4
“Snowflake day”: kids draw a flake for the door. “Who's snoring?”: a night sound makes everyone smile.
Page 4
December 5 and 6
“Crumb wish”: leave one tiny crumb by the door. “I was busy”: the elf sorted pencils by color and asks for a colorful picture.

📝 How It Works

1
Open the PDF and print without scaling to fit.
2
Write the elf's name on the name line, ideally with your non-writing hand for a tiny elf handwriting look.
3
Cut along the lines and roll or fold the letter.
4
Add a pinch of glitter or a mini sticker seal and leave it by the door.

💡 Tips

  • A glitter pen along the edge looks nicer than loose glitter and makes less mess.
  • Snap a photo of each letter before you place it, then you'll have every text ready next year.
  • A mini sticker seal or wax stamp turns a plain note into an event.
