Popcorn
Created by: Topsham House Day Nursery
Location: Leicester Guildhall – Great Hall
Overview
We wanted our elephant to be bright and colourful to make people smile, our artists were aged 8 months to 4 years old so using their handprints would make it personal and unique. Every child got to choose the colour, which hand and where on the elephant to place their print. Popcorn’s name was picked from a selection put forward by staff, children, and parents and was chosen as he has not yet POPPED to full size.
