Elephant Button Balloon Card
by Claire Winlow (follow)
This is a cute little card that could be used for any occasion. Older kids will be able to do the whole activity themselves. For younger kids, an adult can cut out the elephant shape and let their child assemble and glue onto the card themselves.
Elephants make a simple and easily identified outline but you could experiment with other animals or people.
