Primary Pachyderm: Conducting

I saw this idea a long time ago in a previous primary, and always wanted to do it, so when I got called, its the first thing I made:


Its rough around the edges with so much use, so I'd like to re-do it a little more like this one, with a gray nose that's a bit shorter, although the long one made it look all wrinkly, so we'll see:


The kids absolutely love conducting the music with our Primary Pachyderm.  They simply put their arm inside the "nose" and conduct, or I do it sometimes just to make them laugh.

They also love conducting with my different wands, which include a clear sparkly wand, a drumstick, a big turkey feather, and a butterfly wand.


Along the same lines, I noticed that our presidency gets long Laffy Taffy rope candies for the kids birthday.  What better for a wand?!  So when the kids have a birthday and come up to get their candy, they get to help conduct their own birthday song, with their birthday candy.  Pencils work as well.
