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.
