How to make crocodile using paper plates

You will need it

2 paper plates + 1 optional for making eyes
white and red (or red) paper
pink and green
black marker
glue, scissors, pencil

Start by painting the back of both panels green. Once the paint dries, turn over a plate and color it pink. Fold this paper so that the pink side is inside.

Cut white paper into zig zag stripes to make teeth. From red paper cut out the tongue. The simplest way to stick it on your teeth is to cut the zig zag stripe into smaller stripes (we make it so that each stripe has 3 teeth), bend it and stick it inside the folded paper. Sticks to tongue.

Apply glue to the bottom of the folded paper and glue on top of the other sheet.

Now all that’s left to do is the eyes. You can just draw them onto the plate or if you want them to pop out, do like we did and cut them off the edge of the 3rd plate and stick them on.

You’ve got yourself a fun-looking crocodile-shaped paper plate!
