How to give an elephant an X-ray



What do you think an elephant's skeleton looks like? As the X-ray machines at the Sick Kids aren't quite big enough to fit an elephant in, we settled for some drawing activities in the radiology waiting room, with some interesting and varied results! A piece of acetate over Cate's outline drawing was all we needed.

Here's some of them, two-by-two. Which do you think is most accurate?



Some elephants were given names and ailments, such as Ellie who finds that after her sore jaw has been x-rayed and treated..











Now her poor sore jaw
is as good as new
and the grass and leaves
she can chew, chew, chew.
