Paper Plate Elephant Supplies:

* Large Paper Plate {one per craft}
* Gray Tissue Paper
* Cardstock {Gray/White/Black}
* Stapler
* Craft Scissors
* School Glue

Directions:

* First cut your gray tissue paper into small squares {let the kids practice their cutting skills} Set aside.
* Next take your paper plate and put a good amount of glue all over it. Have children place the tissue paper on top of the glue, until the paper plate is completely covered.
* While they are working on that, cut out the other elephant features from the cardstock. Think large ears, a tail, legs, eyes and of course – a large trunk!
* To finish off the Paper Plate Elephant Kid Craft – staple/glue on the cardstock pieces in their designated spots, as well as other embellishments you see fit. Then display proudly!
