How to Make the Elephant Handprint Art:
What you need:

- gray crayon or marker
Step by Step Tutorial:
Start with a square piece of white paper or cardstock.
Have kids trace their hand using a pencil.
Complete the bottom part of the handprint to form a solid shape.
Flip the handprint upside down – the fingers now become the elephant’s feet and trunk!
Trace the outline with a black marker.
Draw a big floppy ear on one side of the elephant’s head. Add a tiny eye to give the elephant a friendly expression.
Outline the tail, a short curved tail in the back.
Let children colour elephant grey so it resembles the elephant in the wild.
Use a black marker to add the elephant’s toes on each leg.
