About this picture
This baby elephant balances a big striped beach ball right at the tip of its curled-up trunk, tongue poking out in concentration. A single leaf dangles from the end of its tail, and three clouds float overhead in an otherwise open sky. The trunk's curl makes for a fun test of following a curved line carefully while coloring.

Coloring ideas
- Give the beach ball three or four alternating colors around its stripes so it stands out as the focal point.
- Use a soft gray or light blue for the elephant's skin, with a slightly darker shade in the folds around the trunk for depth.
- Color the dangling leaf and the three clouds in muted tones so they don't compete with the ball.
- Try shading one side of the trunk's curl slightly darker to give it a rounded, three-dimensional feel.
Learning and creativity connection
Following the curved line of the trunk while staying inside it builds the same fine motor control kids use for handwriting - tracing a curve carefully with a crayon uses similar hand movements to forming letters like "c" and "e."
