OUTLINE OF ELMER THE ELEPHANT HOW TO

Perfect as Elmer is all about how it’s fun to be a bit different! If you like this you might also enjoy my round up of crafts and activities for reading Miffy at the Seaside. Elmer tells the story of a cheerful, patchwork elephant who loves practical jokes.

This was a really nice craft because we could sit and do one each. I made a little loop of thread through the top of them so he could hang them in his window. Place another sheet of sticky back plastic on top to seal it and you’re done! We then cut square shapes out of the tissue paper and put these over Elmers body. My son and I then placed our Elmer shapes coloured side down on the sticky back plastic, adding the ear shape and an eye or two. I also cut out a curved line to make the shape of an ear. Then I cut around the drawing leaving about a centimeter margin of paper to make an outline. You draw, turn it over and then place it on your coloured paper, tracing it again meaning that you get the outline on your coloured paper.
