Christmas elf kit: questions

Is everything on this page free?

Yes. Every letter, certificate and list is free to make and print with no signup. Free prints carry a small Printoodle footer; a free account removes it and saves everything to a library.

Does this work with any Christmas elf?

Yes. Type your own elf's name on the letters, or leave it blank and we match an official elf name to your child — the same one every time.

When should the elf arrive?

Any time between late November and December 1st is traditional. Print the arrival letter the night before the elf first appears.

What do I do when I run out of hiding ideas?

Print the 24 hiding spots planner: one a night with things already in the house, and a checkbox row so you never repeat.
