Elephant Headband Craft
When my kids were toddlers, they loved pretending they were elephants. I remember working on animal sounds with each of them, and they had so much fun making elephant noises. They would even hold their arm up to their face to pretend it was their trunk!
Elephants are so fascinating! They are the world’s largest animals on land. Their big ears and playful personality make them a common favorite animal for children.
If you have a child who loves elephants just as much as mine do, you’re going to want to take a look at this Elephant Headband Craft! This cute craft is such a fun activity for you and your little one. And it makes a silly headband to play with all day long!
We love making this Elephant Headband Craft. After we make it together, we all put on our Elephant Headbands and pretend to be Elephants. Sometimes, my kids are the zookeepers while I stomp around, pretending to be an elephant. They love it!
If you need more animals to add to your zoo, try making our Alligator Papercraft. Or try our Paper Bag Lion Puppet for a roaring good time! Can’t get enough of elephants? This Elephant Papercraft is adorable and so fun to make!
If you want to make this into a learning activity, have your kids gather some fun facts about Elephants. They can write them on the back of their headband. Or they can present them to the rest of the family!
