Baby Elephant Artist Holding a Brush and Paint Palette

A smiling baby elephant stands on its hind legs with a big paintbrush held in its trunk, the bristles pointing down and curling at the tip. In one front foot it holds an oval paint palette with four blobs of paint and one small round paint pot with a lid. The elephant has large round eyes, raised eyebrows, and two huge ears that spread out behind its head in a heart-like shape. Its little belly button and toenails are drawn too. The wide shapes on the palette are easy to color for small hands. Try picking a different bright color for each paint blob, then use those same colors on the ears or the brush bristles so it looks like the elephant has been busy mixing. This printable page also works well for an art-day lesson about primary colors.
