Elmer the Elephant

A child’s drawing of a colorful elephant inspired by Elmer the Elephant, decorated with various patterns and surrounded by a border of multicolored squares and tape.

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.
