Elmer the Elephant

By | |
Child's colorful drawing of Elmer the Elephant, surrounded by a border of multicolored paper pieces.

These pictures are based on the book Elmer!  I love this book and the colorful elephants.  The kids drew their own elephants and colored them with fun patterns.  The borders were made by cutting up and gluing strips of wrapping paper and neon cardstock.

And I want to remind you of this fun game that my students enjoy using in their free art time.  It is a blast:  PICK and DRAW

A game box with "Pick and Draw" text, featuring the phrase "a fun drawing game!" on a blue background.
