How to make an
Christmas Decoration You can hang a whole herd of colourful elephants on your Christmas tree!
You will need: • Colouring pencils • Scissors • Glue • Sticky tape • A piece of ribbon (about 15cm long) • A grown up Instructions: • Colour in Elmer’s patches on each of the four templates – make him as colourful as possible! • Write the letters beside each of the templates on the back of the templates (this will be very useful later!) • Ask a grown up to carefully cut around the edges of each template. • Apply the glue to the blank sides of each template (make sure you don’t glue the very tops of the templates … we’ll get back to this part later!). • Stick the sections you marked A together, making sure all of the edges match up. • Following the same method, stick the sections B, C and D together. Your Elmer should now be able to stand up! • Fold your piece of ribbon in half and place a small piece of sticky tape over the two ends. • At the top of your Elmer there will be a small gap where you did not use any glue. Hold this gap open and slot in the end of the string with the piece of sticky tape. • Pinch the top of your Elmer to make sure the string sticks. TIP: You could make your Elmer er look extra festive by using glitt pens to colour in his patches.
