Steps to make the Elephant Craft:

Print the Craft template on an A4 or Letter Sized paper. Cut out all the parts – the Head, ears, trunk, & tusks. Use these cutout templates as your reference points and trace onto Felt. We used a 2mm stiff felt to make this craft. Alternately, you could use construction paper or craft foam in similar colors.

Use a Glue gun ( when using felt) to secure the elephant’s head on top of an old CD. Glue the ears behind the CD, stick the tusks behind the trunk and then finally glue the trunk on top.

Add googly eyes and our adorable Pachyderm is ready for some pretend play.
