Step 4


-First Step ,Get Magnets with a plastic coating over them (preferably White ),

-Thirdly ,Start off by getting something circular to trace the shape of the eye on the white side of the magnet this will be the sclera.

-Lastly use a hole puncher on the black section of your magnet also hole punch a black Piece of Foam Paper and use double sided tape  to attach the magnet. This will be the pupil of the eyes.

Using magnets for your eyes will allow you to animate your elephant eyes moving .

Do This Twice (Two Eyes.)


-Cut Out a wavy shape , With straight ends  This will be the  trunk of  your elephant.

-Feel free to add graphics to the trunk to make it look more realistic.
