-First take a sheet of blue foam paper , and cut a circular piece out of the paper .This will be the body of your Elephant.
-Secondly, Cut a Square sheet of any colour you'd like . I chose purple. Round the edge and use double sided tape or glue to put it on the body of the elephant.This is a Cloak for the elephant to give it the circus aspect.

Step 4
