As with humans, elves come in all ages. The elves in the North Pole workshop range from newborns to several hundred years old. The average age of the elves is about 100 years old, though some are even older than that. There are a few elves who are much younger, such as the newborn baby elves who are learning how to make toys or the elf children who are just starting to learn the art of toy making. The elves also have an extensive lifespan compared to humans, with some elves living for several thousand years.
