Front-Facing Elephant With Curled Trunk and Mandala Ears

A large elephant stands facing forward, its trunk curled up in a loop on the left and two tusks showing on either side. Nearly every part of the body is filled with patterns. The wide ears hold fans of circles, triangles and leaf shapes, and a mandala sits on the forehead with small teardrops below it. A row of pointed triangles runs across the face above the trunk, which is split into banded sections with spirals, dotted lines and stripes. The legs carry swirls and zigzag designs, and the feet end in rounded toenails. The fine detail suits older kids, teens and adults who like to sit with a set of gel pens or sharp colored pencils. Try giving each ear a different color family, then pick one shade for the forehead mandala so the face stands out. This free printable page also works well for talking about pattern and symmetry.
