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 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.
