Playful Elephant Mandala
Ellie the elephant loves decorating her enormous ears for the jungle parade. The shapes on each ear fit together like a wonderful mandala. Color the patterns any way you wish and give Ellie a festive look. She will wave her trunk when it is time for the parade to begin!
Ellie’s Parade Ears
Ellie is ready for a jungle parade, and her giant ears are the stars of her outfit. Each ear holds a matching collection of mandala shapes that curve around her face and trunk. This is a fun picture for noticing left-and-right details: you can color both ears the same, or turn them into two different designs. When Ellie waves her trunk, everyone will see her colorful ear decorations!
A Festive Elephant Color Plan
Real elephants are often gray, but Ellie can wear any colors you imagine. Use soft gray for her face and trunk, then fill her ear patterns with pink, teal, purple, and yellow. Try making one shape in the left ear match the same shape in the right ear. A little dark gray inside the lines can add depth. Bright green leaves or a blue sky would make a cheerful parade background.
Elephant Trunk Facts
An elephant’s trunk is a super-useful body part. It helps the elephant breathe, smell, drink, pick up food, and even give gentle touches. Elephants use their large ears to help release heat when the weather is warm. They can also flap their ears to show how they feel. Baby elephants need time to learn how to control their trunks, just as children practice using new skills.
