Elephant
The Elephant is a great imaginative element for the children to play on. You will need small and large tyres along with 3� bolts and budget paint. There is no need for cement as you can compact the earth to form the foundation around the tyres. Make sure you have at least 1.5 metres of space around the elephant.
