Turn a paper plate into a cute Elephant! Learn how to make this Elephant Paper Plate Craft with the kids – template included!

Elephant Paper Plate Craft

Are you doing a study or lesson on elephants? Maybe you are teaching about the jungle or safari, or doing a study on animals that live in Africa. Whatever elephant theme you are considering, I’ll be sharing a craft below to help supplement your lesson.

When studying elephants, you can discuss and show students where elephants live by pointing to the location on a map. A great discussion would be to talk about the size and weight of elephants and compare the sizes of elephants to other animals. You can also ask kids if they’ve ever seen an elephant in a zoo or on a visit to a safari!

Other items of discussion when learning about elephants includes: what do elephants eat, what do they use their trunks for, why do elephants flap their ears, and so much more.

Today, I’m sharing an Elephant Paper Plate Craft to complete with the kids as a fun way to get kids excited about elephants!
