E is for Elephant

Last week we had our little hand print elephant on our Alphabet Book, this week we had our uppercase ‘E’ for that. Mummy noticed that both of the kids would prefer using hands or things that we had done on Alphabet Book, i think it is because the Alphabet Book would give them kind of surprise that what type of materials that we would be using today? Probably a bit of wondering that made them so excited! Anyway, here is what we did for today:

What You'll Need:

• Gray or white foam sheet/construction paper
• Scissors
• Pen {to trace letter}
• Gray paint ~ if you can't find gray paper or foam
• Googly eyes
• Glue

How to make the 'E' Elephant:

1. Trace and cut an uppercase 'E' out of the foam sheet or construction paper. Since our house currently didn't have gray foam or grey construction papers, I used black colour after we had glued it all together.
2. Using the extra foam, cut out an ear and a trunk for the elephant. I used a little sliver of our white foam to also cut out a tusk for him.
3. Glue the elephant's trunk onto the middle section of the letter 'E'.
4. Glue on the ear and paint if needed.
5. Add an eye and tusk to finish!
