Elves are one of the many symbols of Christmas. They are known to be Santa’s helpers, especially when it comes to creating toys for children and taking care of reindeer.

Even outside of Christmas, they are still fascinating creatures that are exciting to paint and color. Those that live in the forest (not the Christmas elves) are often depicted in movies as being rather beautiful and magical.

Wouldn’t it be great to have a collection of elf coloring pages?

In this post, we have gathered 21 wonderful elf coloring pages for your entertainment this holiday season. The first few are great for kids and the elderly, while the last ones are perfect for adults and teenagers.
