How To Make an Alligator Surprise Craft
Step 1: Print Out The Free Template
Grab the free template, and head to your printer! Once you have that, grab your markers and start coloring your alligator!
Step 2: Add Tiny Details
Add your googly eyes. Add the word “chomp” on the tongue for a fun twist!
Step 3: Fold To Make The Surprise
Next up: fold the paper in half (with those pretty colored sides up!) and then fold the bottom third up – this will reveal the alligators head with his mouth hidden inside.
This alligator craft is such a simple coloring activity with just a little something special! It’s great for a classroom setting, homeschool lesson, or just because!
Crafty Tips:
- Let kids color their alligator in whatever colors they wish! We chose to go with more realistic colors but any colors will do!
- Let their surprise word be whatever their imagination comes up with! “I’m Hungry,” “Surprise”, “Roar”, “I love you”, “See you Later, Alligator” are all fun options!
- Kids can draw their own eyes instead of using googly eyes if desired!
- Use our concept and have them try to draw they own surprise craft! Fold your paper in half, fold the bottom piece up and then begin drawing your design.
