How to use this worksheet
- Before the dashes end, check the direction on the model: every crocodile climbs from its mouth at the lower left up to the curled tail at the upper right.
- The dashes cover roughly the first half of each of the five rows; your child then draws the rest of the crocodiles alone, keeping them climbing diagonally upward like the solid crocodile.
What this worksheet teaches
Keeping a long slanted shape going alone: the traced crocodiles show the angle, the length and the size of the open mouth, and the empty part of each row shows whether your child can repeat the jaws, the teeth and the curl, evenly spaced.
Play idea
River count: draw a wavy river along the row, let your child count the crocodiles swimming in it and add one small fish for each.
Questions and answers
Questions from parents
Why do some freehand crocodiles end up lying flat?
The slant is easy to lose once the dashes stop. Put a finger on the mouth and then on the tail of the solid crocodile to show how much higher the tail is, then aim each new one the same way.
What age is this worksheet for?
Children aged 5–6 — tracing a few dashed crocodiles and then drawing the rest of each row alone practices sharp and soft lines on a slant.
What if the freehand crocodiles lose their teeth or their curled tail?
Draw the mouth and body first, then go back to add the zigzag teeth and the curl at the end of the tail; checking the solid crocodile after each one makes sure nothing is left out.
