2/3s Sew Stuffed Indian Elephants

 Tracing onto felt

Cutting out the elephant

 Attaching an ear


 Embroidering the body

Thoughtful stitching

l
 One finished elephant

A finished herd!




A visit to the Hindu Temple deepened the study of India

As the 2/3s began their study of India in the classroom, they enriched their studies with several art experiences. To start they traced and cut elephants from gray felt and then embroidered flowers and saddles to make their elephants look like they're ready for a festival. The two sides are then sewn together and stuffed.
