Activities to Do With Crocodile Coloring Pages
Don’t let the fun end when the coloring is done. These printable sheets are a great starting point for creative crafts and educational games. Here are a few ways to extend the swampy adventure.
Create a Textured Crocodile
Crocodiles are famous for their bumpy skin. Bring your coloring page to life by gluing different textures onto the crocodile’s body. Use crushed eggshells, green glitter, bubble wrap, or dried lentils. This activity helps kids explore sensory play while making their art unique.
Build a Shoebox Swamp
Turn a cardboard box into a 3D habitat. Paint the inside of an old shoebox with blue and green paints to look like water and grass. Cut out your colored crocodile and glue it inside. Add real twigs, moss, or pebbles to complete the scene.
Croc-on-a-Stick Puppet
This is perfect for storytime. Print your favorite crocodile on cardstock for durability. After coloring, cut out the shape and tape a popsicle stick to the back. Kids can use their new puppets to act out stories or sing songs like “Five Little Monkeys Teasing Mr. Crocodile.”
Crocodile Fact Cards
Combine art with science learning. Cut out the finished crocodile and paste it onto a large index card. On the back, have your child write a fun fact about crocodiles. They can research how many teeth they have or how long they can hold their breath.
“Snap” Memory Game
Print two copies of several different coloring pages. Color the matching pairs identically and cut them into square cards. Flip them face down and play a classic memory matching game. If you turn over a matching pair, shout “Snap!” to claim the cards.
FAQs
What Is the Difference Between a Crocodile and an Alligator?
The easiest way to tell them apart is by looking at their snout. Crocodiles have a pointed, V-shaped snout, while alligators have a wide, U-shaped snout. Also, when a crocodile closes its mouth, you can usually still see the fourth tooth on its lower jaw sticking out.
What Colors Should I Use for a Realistic Crocodile?
Real crocodiles are usually olive green, gray, brownish-green, or black. Their bellies are typically a lighter cream, white, or yellow color. However, you can use any colors you like for a creative or magical crocodile.
Where Do Crocodiles Live in the Wild?
Crocodiles live in tropical areas throughout Africa, Asia, the Americas, and Australia. They are semi-aquatic, meaning they spend time on land and in water. You will mostly find them in rivers, lakes, wetlands, and sometimes in saltwater areas.
Are These Coloring Pages Suitable for Toddlers?
Yes, we have a mix of designs. Look for the “Cute Baby Crocodile” or simple outlines with thick lines. These are easier for toddlers and preschoolers to color. The detailed scenes are great for older children and adults.
