Since my son is still too young to do too many crafts, I just made this simple Elmer drawing to hang in his room.

I traced a picture of Elmer from the cover of our book, made a copy, colored it in with crayons, and then added a little plastic eye for fun.

I realized part way through that an Elmer picture would also make a really great color by numbers coloring activity. I added the numbers here. Feel free to print this here.

My son is still too young to do this color by numbers activity, but it seems like a lot of fun. If anyone would like me to email them the version of this in Word please send me an email at linesacross@gmail.com.

Elmer by David McKee is the story of a patchwork elephant who is well-loved in his community. But, he feels different and feels like he doesn’t belong with the herd. So, he sets off to become a “normal” elephant. When he returns as a regular elephant color none of the other elephants recognize him. Once he makes it known who he is, all the elephants get a chuckle. As the rain pours down revealing his real colors once again, everyone decides that each year they will have a look like Elmer day.
