Elmer the Elephant has to be one of the most classic books for kids, the whole series is so bright and cheerful and each of the stories has such a great message! I’ve hunted out the very best Elmer crafts for kids for you, the ones I know that kids will actually want to try and ones that they can actually achieve too! There’s lots of Elmer the Elephant early years activities and some cool Elmer printables in there too.
These Elmer inspired ornaments are super pretty and would be great at Christmas time.
These clay tiles Elmers are so bright and you could make them again and again!
Help teach your kids the letter E with this fun elmer craft and printable.

I’m a little bit in love with these Elmer’s that The Imagination Tree made from milk cartons, they’re so cool!

We made these Elmer the Elephant suncatchers last week. Can yo guess which is mine and which my son made?! They are both happily hanging in his window.
Hodge Podge Craft shares a fantastic tutorial on how to make origami elephants, she even has a youtube video that you can follow! This craft is more suitable for older kids but I think it would look great if you made a little heard of these for Elmer and his friends.
What could be more colourful than an Elmer craft inspired by Kandinsky?!
This pom pom activity would look great on a classroom window!
