Blue with purple ears, then gray with pink

A box of 8 crayons has no gray and no pink, so the easy elephants are blue with purple ears. Open More options and choose Detailed 24 by 24 and seven of them turn gray with pink ears.

Trunk, tusks and tail

Every sheet shows the trunk except the Elephant from behind, which shows the tail. Tusks are white paper on four sheets: the Walking elephant, the Elephant face, the Elephant with its trunk up and the Elephant head in profile.

The Elephant at sunset is the only sheet with no blue: its crayons are red, orange, black, yellow and brown.

How this list was compiled: Our own pixel pictures, drawn square by square for this site on 12 by 12 and 24 by 24 grids in October 2026. Nothing is traced, scanned or copied from clip art, and no picture shows a brand, a logo or a character from a film, show, book or game. The facts in the Elephant and calf and Elephant head in profile descriptions and in the answers on this page were checked against Wikipedia in October 2026, and the color and square counts were counted from the finished grids.
