Elephants

 


Elephants are the largest land animals in the world today. There are African elephants (with larger ears) and Asian elephants (with smaller ears). In Asian culture, elephants are revered for being wise and having excellent memories - and indeed a common saying in the West too is "an elephant never forgets". We've got some great elephant activities below for the kids to enjoy, as well as a selection of learning activities that will spark an interest in these magnificent creatures.

Fun fact: The oldest elephant recorded lived to be 82 years old!

The 12th August every year has been designated World Elephant Day. It's a great excuse to start an elephant project, tackle one of our elephant crafts or just learn something new about elephants.
