Baby elephant was made from big and little
apple stuck together. Banana legs, sliced almond
tusks and green blanket complete his picture.
In making spaces in which to fit the arms, legs
and head, care should be taken that the holes
not cut too large, but should fit tightly SO that
they may have the proper balance. The feet
should be made sufficiently large and with fat
surfaces, to give the correct support. Toothpicks
come in appropriately for holding sections of the
body together, MARJORIE.
