This project was inspired by a cute book our kids love us to read to them, "Kiss Kiss" by Margaret Wild.
The book is actually about a baby hippo who leaves his mama to go play. As he is walking past his little jungle friends giving their mamas kisses, he realizes he forgot to "kiss kiss" his mama!
It's a simple, yet adorable children's book about a baby and his need for his kisses.
Do I need to say more!
I chose to use elephants, because I loved the way they give kisses with their trunks.
That's at least how I think a sweet mama elephant would kiss her baby!
It didn't take much for me to put this together. I already had these scrap pieces of stained wood from an old jewelry box (it was large!) that fell apart.
The wood was still in great shape, and to my husbands demise I have kept it for projects like this.
All I needed was some small nails (found at the bottom of the tool box), a sawtooth hanger, scrap wood, a hammer, elephant clip art and coordinating scrapbook paper.
I wiped down the wood to clean of all the dust.
