Learn • Create • Explore • Care
It's World Elephant Day! Today we're discovering one of the world's most fascinating animals through play, creativity and a little elephant-sized learning.
Did you know elephants use their trunks to smell, drink, touch, pick things up and communicate? And a baby elephant is called a calf?
Let's explore!
🔤 E is for Elephant
E... E... Elephant! 🐘
Our World Elephant Day printables help children recognise uppercase E and lowercase e, practise early pencil skills and connect letters with pictures and words.
Children can:
✏️ Trace E and e
🎨 Colour their favourite elephant
👀 Compare different elephant pictures
💬 Learn new elephant words
🐘 Create their own colourful elephant

Perfect for preschool, early learning and home activities.
🖼️ Bring Elephants Into Your Learning Space
Your elephant cards can also become part of the classroom.
Display the different E is for Elephant posters together, add a few elephant books and animal figures, and you've created a simple World Elephant Day discovery corner.

A group of elephants is called a HERD.
Elephants are herbivores, which means they eat plants, and their incredible trunks help them smell, drink, touch and collect food.
Today's new word: HERD 🐘🐘🐘

World Elephant Day is also about protecting elephants and the places they call home.
Ask children one simple question:
“What can people do to help animals stay safe?”
That's enough for young children. We don't need to give them a conservation lecture.
