Crocodile Hatchling


This craft evolved as we went along so i will apologise now for the lack of photos for some steps. Neevah seems to love animals, pretending to be them, making animal nosies, playing with them and making them Crocodiles have been a favourite for awhile now as she loves to snap snap snap just like a crocodile.

You will need

Green Paper
White Paper
Wiggly Eye
Green Marker Pen or Crayon
Glue
Scissors
An old painting or you could create a new piece of art for the background

To Make

1 .Create a background for your crocodile hatchling we used an old painting that Neevah created a week or so ago during a free art session from memory she was painting mud
2. Cut out an open egg shape and some teeth from the white paper
3 .Trace around your child's hand on the green paper then cut it out. You will need to get them to hold there hand like the photo below to create a crocodile head shape4 .Glue the crocodile head onto the background5 .Glue on the eye and teeth6 .Let your child draw scales on the crocodile with a green marker pen7 .Glue on the egg shape so it looks like the crocodile is emerging from the egg
