🎨 How to color it

Color the baby elephant soft gray, the butterfly sunny yellow and orange, the acacia trees leafy green with brown trunks, and the round sun golden yellow. For little hands, use chunky crayons on the elephant’s big ears and belly first, and don’t worry if the color wiggles past the lines. Add a playful twist by making the butterfly’s spots blue, like tiny sky dots that flew down to visit.

In the warm grass, Tilly held her trunk up high. She wanted a tickle, so she stood still: swish, swish, hush.

A little breeze came. A cloud scooted by. Tilly did not wiggle. “I can wait,” she whispered.

Then a butterfly landed on her trunk—tap, tap! Not a tickle from the wind, but butterfly feet! Tilly giggled so hard her ears flapped like fans.

The butterfly twirled away, and Tilly held her trunk up high again. Can you spot the tiny tickle-maker beside the grass?
