How to use this worksheet
- Name the parts together first: a wide-open mouth at the front with little teeth, a long body climbing up to the right, two short legs and a tail that curls at the end.
- Trace the dashed crocodiles slowly through the open mouth and the teeth, then along the body to the curled tail; the solid crocodile with a dark dot and an arrow at the start of each of the four large rows shows the direction.
What this worksheet teaches
Pointy and smooth lines in one guided shape: a sharp V for the jaws, a tiny zigzag for the teeth and a long slanted curve with a curl for the tail. Following the dashes lets the hand feel these changes before it has to plan them.
Play idea
Snap game: after each row, your child makes a crocodile mouth with both arms and snaps once for every crocodile traced.
Questions and answers
Questions from parents
Why does the crocodile climb uphill?
The whole shape sits on a slant, from the mouth at the lower left to the tail at the upper right — good practice in keeping a line on a diagonal.
What age is this worksheet for?
Children aged 4–5 — the crocodile has sharp and soft lines in one shape, and because all four large rows are dashed, the child can focus on the mouth, the teeth and the curled tail.
What if my child skips over the crocodile's teeth?
Trace the first crocodile together, hand over hand; the tiny zigzag of teeth is the hardest part, so let your child go slowly there and faster along the long body.
