How to Make the E is for Elephant Craft
Step 1: Gather your supplies
Gather your supplies.
Step 2: Print and cut the template
Begin by printing the template on cardstock and carefully cutting out the provided template of the letter E (which will transform into an adorable elephant) using scissors.
Step 3: Paint the pieces gray
With gray acrylic paint and a paint brush, it’s time to give your elephant some color! Paint all the cut-out templates until they are a lovely shade of gray. Alternatively you can print the template and trace on to gray construction paper to be cut out.
Step 4: Mount on dark blue paper
After painting, paste the gray pieces onto a dark blue paper. Once it’s dry, cut around the elephant shape.
Step 5: Assemble the elephant
Now, it’s time to put all the pieces together. Glue the nose, ears, feet, and hands in their proper places to assemble your elephant.
Step 6: Add the eye circle
Attach a small white circle for the elephant’s eye. This eye will give your elephant some personality.
Step 7: Add the googly eye
Lastly, place a googly eye in the middle of the small white circle. This googly eye adds a touch of whimsy to your elephant’s gaze.
All done!
Once the glue is completely dry, hang your elephant up for display!
