Letter E Is for Elephant Coloring Page

This page pairs a hollow capital E with a hollow lowercase e and puts a cheerful elephant underneath, standing square with its trunk curling upward. The capital E is built entirely from straight lines, a single upright spine with three arms reaching right, which makes it one of the most approachable capitals for a child still learning to control a pencil. The lowercase e is the opposite, a single continuous loop with a bar through the middle, and it is one of the most common letters in written English, so time spent on it pays off. Between them the sheet covers both the straight stroke and the curved stroke. The elephant gives the lower half of the page its bulk, with large open ears and a wide body that take colour well and leave room for a child to add their own pattern if they want to. Use it in an alphabet unit, on a zoo or safari themed day, or whenever a big simple animal shape is more appealing to a child than another row of letters.
