Twin Baby Elephants Linking Trunks Beneath a Tree
Coloring guide
Two young elephants stand side by side, smiling at each other with their trunks curled together in the middle of the page. Both have big floppy ears, round eyes with sparkly highlights and little tufts of hair on their heads. A leafy tree branch stretches across the top on the right, with a few leaves drifting down. Below, the grassy ground has daisy-like flowers in several sizes and small grass tufts. Wide outlines and open spaces suit preschoolers and early elementary kids, and older children can take on the flowers and leaves. Blue-gray elephants, pink and yellow blooms and a mix of greens for the leaves is one way to go. Print or download it free for a classroom project or weekend craft. Looking for more? Our Wolves and Lion coloring pages pair nicely with this Elephant page.
