Oh, I love that Thing!
I do an imitation of an elephant with my hand that I started to calm kids down and I have gotten to a point where it even amazes adults. It's easy, the middle finger is the trunk and the others are the legs. You just walk the hand on a cluttered table and sniff around all objects. The trick is to constantly move the trunk, up,down, sideways...
The reactions on the kid's faces are worth it. Even on their parent's.
