Who this is
Nunu is the elephant whose ears are nearly as wide as the rest of her. She appears in the mazes and the farm scenes, always moving at her own unhurried pace.
What is in the picture
The curling trunk is the one line on this page that a pencil has to follow rather than fill, and children usually trace it several times before colouring anything else. Her two ears have inner areas, and the soles of her feet are separate too.
Colouring it with a toddler
If a child is practising holding a pencil, the trunk is a better exercise than any worksheet — it curves in both directions.
Thick crayons beat pencils at this age — they need no grip strength and they do not break when a child leans on them. Expect the first few attempts to be one colour scribbled across everything; staying inside a line comes later, and it comes on its own.
Colour it on screen instead
Nunu is also in the PlayKiko colouring game, where tapping an area fills it and nothing goes outside the lines. Useful on a train, where crayons are a mistake.
