Our Patchwork Elephant Friend

Who doesn't love Elmer? Elmer is a bright-colored patchwork elephant who is the happiest elephant on earth! He loves humor and makes his other ordinary grey friends laugh. It is great to discover this adorable character by David McKee with my girls. Elmer always keeps his jungle community in cheerful mood just like his vibrant-colored patchwork  body. We decided to make our Elmer a real one. 

Material needed: White card stock paper, water color, goggly eyes and cube sponge (we got it at Daiso)

Sketch an elephant body 

Dip the sponges into the paints. Then stamp rows of squares on the paper.

Let dry. Once the paint has dried, cut the elephant shape and glue the goggley eyes on it.

They were so proud with their patchwork friends, they found the best place to hang them-the reading nook.
