You look into the jungle with binoculars and see Elmer and his friends playing - draw what you see. Could you make some binoculars and decorate them Elmer patchwork style? Maybe you could then go on an Elmer colour hunt and see if you can find something that matches each of the colours on Elmer?
Here are some ideas to explore colour and pattern like the elephants in Elmer.
