How to make 3D crocodile:
Materials:
hard cardboard (recycled cardboard eg unwanted boxes or small cartons).
scissors
water colours
brush
Method:
1. You have to draw the body shape of a crocodile (with sharp teeth and tail)
2. Draw the 2 legs in hemi-oval shape.
3. Cut out the shapes.
4. Get your children to paint the shapes (both sides) in whatever colour they like (even it is not a crocodile colour). They may need to paint one side first and then wait for it to dry before painting the other side.
5. Once the colour on both sides is dried, cut approx 2cm in height near the head and tail respectively (from bottom up).
6. Cut approx 2cm in height in the middle of the legs (from top to bottom).
7. Slide the legs to the body and you will get this:
