Elephant Face with Heart Diamond, Día de Muertos Style

A front-facing elephant head fills the page, decorated in the style of a Día de Muertos sugar skull. A heart-shaped diamond sits in the middle of the forehead, and two dark teardrop-shaped patches surround the eyes. A rose is drawn on the upper part of each large ear, with swirls, leaf shapes, and small drops filling the rest of the ear space. The trunk hangs down in a long curve with scrolls, dots, and circles running along it, and it ends in a small curled tip. Two tusks sit on either side of the trunk. Try giving each rose a different shade of pink or red, then use cool colors like teal and purple for the swirls so the flowers stand out. The thick outlines are easy to stay inside, and the tiny patterns on the trunk are good practice for fine motor control with a sharp pencil or fine marker. This free page works well for older kids, teens, and adults.
