DLTK's Crafts for Kids
Alligator Paper Craft

This is a simple cut and paste paper craft good "just for fun", a reptile theme, or a Florida/Louisiana, USA or China theme.

There are only two countries in the world that have alligators.  The alligators in China are an endangered species.  American alligators are not -- they live from the Carolinas to Florida and along the Gulf Coast.
 

Materials:

• something to colour with if using the B&W version,
• scissors,
• glue, and
• paper.
   
• You can use brass tacks ("brads") instead of glue to attach the tail if you want it to be moveable.
   

Instructions:

• Print out the template of choice.
   
• Colour (where appropriate) and cut out the template pieces.
   
• Glue the alligator together in the following order:
  • head onto the body
  • glue the feet onto the body
  • glue the arms onto the body
  • glue the tail onto the body
     
  • See picture on the template for further help
     

Templates:

• Close the template window after printing to return to this screen.
