Paper Bag Elephant Craft Directions

  1. Before starting this project, you’ll want to cut out the elephant’s ears and trunk. Draw the outline of elephant ears and a trunk onto a brown piece of paper and cut them out. Make one set of ears and a trunk for each child.
  2. Give the rest of the supplies to the kids.
    Show them how a paper bag can transform into a puppet. Instruct the kids to color the inside of the ears pink and draw a little pink tongue inside the flap of the paper bag.
  3. Glue the trunk and the ears to the bottom of the bag. Glue two eyes on the front of the bag to complete the elephant.
  4. Show the kids how to stick their hands inside the puppet to make the elephant talk. The kids can use their elephant puppets to say what the letter E says, and to find any hidden letter E’s in their classroom.
