A simple standing elf with a floppy hat, belt, and boots, drawn in clean bold outlines. Easy — best for toddlers.
Clean bold outlines make this the confident starter elf: one green for the tunic, one red for the floppy hat, brown boots, a black belt, and a gold buckle square. The shapes are big enough for a toddler’s whole fist around a crayon, and the standing pose, plain and proud, looks good in even the simplest four-color treatment you can give it.
Try the uniform game with a young colorist: point to each shape and name its color before starting, hat red, tunic green, boots brown. A smile this simple needs nothing else, though a pink nose circle is a beloved tradition. Thick markers will bleed less if the big tunic goes last, after the smaller shapes are done.
