Elmer Day 2025 - digital resources

This year, is Elmer the patchwork elephant’s 36th birthday!

The digital pack includes activity sheets, craft ideas, games and lots of other resources.

Everyone is invited to join in the fun for Elmer Day, and while the official date for this year’s Elmer Day is 24 May, we invite you to celebrate at a time that works for you, whether that’s sharing Elmer stories and wearing colourful clothing throughout the week before, or hosting craft sessions during Half Term.

If you’re holding a public event, you can help people find out about it by uploading the details to the online Elmer Day event map.

We would love to see you enjoying the day on social media using #ElmerDay and tagging AndersenPress/elmerthepatchworkelephant and readingagency.
