Cute African Elephant

Meet this cheerful young African elephant, a gentle savanna friend with enormous fan-shaped ears, a playful raised trunk, two tiny tusks and sturdy feet. Children can colour the body soft grey, warm brown or dusty blue-grey, then use pale pink or peach inside the large ears and around the trunk. Make the tusks cream or ivory, the toenails light beige, and the tail tuft dark grey. Try golden yellow and fresh green for the grass, brown and green for the little tree, bright colours for the flowers, and pale blue for the clouds. Colour slowly inside the thick lines, leave a few white highlights, and add sunshine, birds or butterflies in the open spaces.
