Fun Learning with Craft Time!
No one said learning the alphabet had to be dull and boring. It's time to show our kids how much fun it can be!
The beauty of our craft project is that it doesn't feel like a typical lesson. There's no long lecture or note-taking. Though there shouldn’t really be any of those for the younger kids anyway! Instead, it's all about getting hands-on, sparking curiosity, and encouraging creativity. It's the perfect way to enhance fine motor skills while also having a good laugh.
Don't be surprised if your kids start looking at the letter 'E' a little differently from now on. With each curve and line, they'll see the floppy ears of their adorable elephant, smiling back at them from the bulletin board. And just like that, craft time becomes the highlight of the day! From letter sounds to sight words and letter practice, this fun craft is a fabulous tool to add to your learning arsenal. This E is for Elephant Craft is simple to make, perfect for kids, and a hit with the adults too!

How To Make E is For Elephant
Here are the step-by-step instructions for the E is For Elephant
The first thing is to print out the letter e template on white construction paper. Cut out each of the pieces.
Next, using the gray paint, paint the E, the ear, the trunk, and the two feet shape.
Once they have dried, Glue the ear, trunk, and feet to the dark navy or black paper.
Cut around each piece allowing a small amount of the darker color to show.
Glue the ear to the back of the E giving it a floppy ear look. Next, glue the elephant's trunk to the end of the top line of the E. Then glue the elephant's feet to each of the other two lines of the capital E.
Next, glue the white paper circle from the template to the middle of the top of the E between the trunk and ear.
The last step is to glue the googly eye on top of the white circle.
