A Child Should Always Say What's True

A child should always say what's true,

And speak when he is spoken to;

And behave mannerly at table,

 At least as far as he is able.

Cute Craft

Circle Elephant Craft -
Shapes, Scissor Skills, Colors, and Counting Practice

This craft can be used to teach a variety of skills. You don't have to use all the thoughts for lessons... just choose the ones you're working on with your child. There is a second template with a body that you can optionally use.
elephant shapes paper craft

Materials:

  • scissors,
  • glue,
  • printer,
  • paper

Thoughts for Lessons:

SCISSOR SKILLS:
  • This craft has lots of circles plus a few rectangles and triangles to cut out -- good scissor practice!
  • You can precut the template into separate pieces (roughly) to make it a bit easier for beginning crafters to cut out the circles.
SHAPES:
  • Separate the circles, triangles and rectangles.
COLORS:
  • verbally instruct the children on how to assemble the shapes using the colors of the shapes. (ie: Take the pink circle and glue it on the grey circle.).
SIZES:
  • show the children two circles and ask -- is this one bigger, smaller or the same size as that one.
COUNTING:
  • Count the circles, count the rectangles and count the triangles.

Assembly Directions:

  • Glue the two medium sized pink circles inside two of the large gray circles to make the ears.

  • Glue the ears to the third large gray circle (the head).
