Make another 4 finger bubble for a back leg and twist into the four 3 finger fold twists, then make another 4 finger bubble for the last rear leg and twist
into the pinch twist where we tied the last 260 onto.

We now need a 4 finger bubble back to the neck of the elephant and twisted around the pinch twist.

Bring one more 4 finger bubble back to the rear pinch twist of the elephant. You should now have three 4 finger bubbles back and forth for the body.

I then make two more bubbles for the body but a little smaller, 3 to 3.5 finger bubbles, make the first bubble and twist into the neck pinch twist and then make
another bubble the same size and twist back into the tail pinch twist. You now have a five balloon bubble section for the elephant's body.

On mine you can see I had about a 7 finger bubble left that I snapped off and made into the tail of the elephant with leaving just a 1 finger section
in-flated and the rest with just a puff of air in the balloon.

Securely attach the neck bubble onto the lower pinch twist of the head section.

Inflate a 2 finger bubble in a scrap of 260 white, split this into two and tie together, insert into the head section.
If you have trouble splitting the eyes in half evenly try tying a knot at the other end as well before splitting into two.
