Elephant Plate Artwork

Look into the eyes of this adorable paper plate elephant and tell me you don't want one for yourself... You can't, can you? This activity is quite simple to create, and once it is created it's incredibly loveable.

  • Step 1Begin by cutting a paper plate in half.
  • Step 2Paint one full plate and one half plate silver. Allow to dry.
  • Step 3Use a pencil to draw a trunk on the back of the silver half plate and tusks on the white half plate.
  • Step 4Carefully cut out the trunk and tusks. Cut around the edge of the silver half plate to create some ears for your elephant.
  • Step 5Place the ears, tusks and trunk on the silver plate. Attach with glue.
  • Step 6Finish your elephant plate by decorating with wiggle eyes. Attach with glue.
