Look at that big, strong elephant in the circus! It can do something incredible—stand on a giant ball! The ball rolls, but the elephant balances like a kid on a bike—slow, steady, and strong.

How? Elephants are very smart and practice a lot with their trainers. They learn to step carefully and use their strong legs to stay balanced.

Why? It’s part of a fun circus show to make everyone go "Wow!"

In real life, elephants love to play—but circus tricks take years of gentle training and kindness.

See how the ball rolls, but the elephant doesn’t fall? That’s teamwork + patience!

The elephant’s long trunk waves like a happy arm, saying, “Look at me!” If you like this circus elephant, follow the step-by-step instructions below to learn how to draw it!
