We love a good counting song at our house. And since it is Christmas, we are loving a Christmas Counting Song, the Five Little Elves song!

Five Little Elves Song - a Christmas counting song with free printable puppets

This Christmas counting song is sung to the tune of ‘Five Little Monkeys Jumping on the Bed’, but this time there are five little elves and they are jumping on Santa’s sleigh!

Here’s how it goes…

Five Little Elves Song

Five little elves jumping on the sleigh,
One jumped off and ran away!
Mama called Santa and Santa did say,
“No more elves jumping on the sleigh!”

Continue the song with four, three, two and one elf, until no more elves are left, then sing..

No more elves jumping on the sleigh,
They all jumped off and ran away!

I made a set of cheeky little elf puppets and a sleigh to go along with the song and my smallest boy has been having lots of fun acting out the song!

We cut out our elves and taped a craft stick to each one to make them into puppets. Then we cut out the sleigh and folded the tabes at each side to make it stand up. We added a few Christmas decorations to set the scene and we were ready to sing!

The Five Little Elves free printable puppet set includes five cheeky elf puppets, a sleigh, and a printable page with song words.

You can download the free printable Christmas elves puppet set here.

This printable is an A4 sized pdf file, you will need a pdf reader such as adobe acrobat to open it. If you are printing on US ‘letter sized’ paper be sure to select ‘fit’ or ‘shrink to fit’ from your printer options. I suggest printing the puppets and seligh onto card or matte photo paper.

Please remember that the printables at picklebums.com are for personal use only, you may not sell, share, or link directly to these files.

    The second page gives a failure (page is black) :(
    Can someone send me the printable version?

    • katepickle says

      The pdf has three pages and they all load fine when I test them. Perhaps there was a glitch with your internet and my server, and trying again may resolve your issue. Also make sure you are opening the file with a pdf reader like acrobat.

    Would love to print but don’t know the password!

      I’m sorry you are having trouble printing the pdf file.
      You need to open the file in a pdf reader (such acrobat), not image editing software. You will only get a prompt for a password if you are trying to open the pdf file in some kind of editing software as that is not allowed. Hope that helps.
