Elephants never forget – how much you care for your loved ones! This Heart Elephant Craft is perfect to show your special someone your love!

Have you ever wondered if it’s true that elephants never forget? I did, and went searching for the truth. Turns out, an elephant’s brain weighs around 5 kg, and it is amazing at storing memories!

Just think of how cool it would be if we could have a memory like that. What all would you like to remember the most? I think it would be errands and stuff to take when I leave the house!

But there’s another thing that we shouldn’t forget – letting our near and dear ones know how much we love them! And if you’re wondering how to do it, we’ve got a cute little heart elephant craft for you today, and this little guy will get the message across. Just write down a note in that little red heart and place it in his trunk!
