A quick printing tip

Use portrait orientation and the same paper size in your printer settings. The PDF includes a white margin so the drawing stays inside the sheet.

With an adult

Open your mouth wide for short e at the start of elephant, using your usual pronunciation.

Begin with the short line across the eye area, then curve around and down like the elephant's curling trunk.

Whole-word copying is optional. Model one movement and stop whenever a break would help.
