We think alligators are really cool. So are alligators! We also think paper crafts are really cool. So paper crafts + alligators = double awesome.
Paper crocodile crafts

You can watch the video tutorial we have prepared here
Or follow the step-by-step instructions to make a crocodile paper craft here
Print two sheets of paper (sample below).
Cut two shapes along the outline.
Select the shape with the dashed lines indicating the strips. Cut along the dashed lines. Cut, cut, cut!
Fold all the paper strips as shown below. Unfold.
All strips have an unbroken line at the end. Fold those lines over.
Time to glue! Apply glue, either to the small part you folded earlier or to the base. Glue the strips to the base to form loops. Important: start from the “tail” (the smaller strips) because working backwards will be much harder.
Work your way through all the strips. Once you have the last strip attached, apply a little glue to the small square you see on the base. Press the last loop down (in the middle) to glue the middle to the base – you will have two smaller loops – they will form nice arcs above the crocodile eye.
We are done with this part. Now take the head part and glue it to the body part (the part with the legs), forming the jaw.
You can decorate the crocodile by adding some sharp teeth and a long tongue. Your crocodile paper craft will definitely be more interesting with this simple touch.
Apply a generous amount of glue to the body (the part with the legs), inside the large square. Take the crocodile’s back and tail (the part with the rings) and press them onto the body, sticking them together. Let the glue set.
