How to use this worksheet
- Plan the route on the model first: the outline runs from the tip of the nose along the back to the curled tail, returns under the belly to the open jaws, and the teeth and legs come last.
- Each of the six rows has one solid crocodile and one dashed crocodile; let your child trace the dashed one, then plan the rest from the mouth to the curled tail, keeping the diagonal slant.
What this worksheet teaches
Drawing a long, detailed animal by eye: without dashes the child holds the slant, opens the jaws at the right angle and fits the tiny teeth inside, then compares each crocodile with the model and corrects the part that differs.
Play idea
Crocodile tales: your child picks the best crocodile, draws reeds and a sun around it and tells a three-sentence story about where it is swimming.
Questions and answers
Questions from parents
How can my child tell if the open mouth is right?
Compare it with the model: the jaws open wide, the corner of the mouth sits back toward the body, and the teeth run along the upper jaw only.
What age is this worksheet for?
Children aged 6–8 — six rows of crocodiles drawn from one model show whether they can combine a sharp V mouth, a zigzag and a curl on a slant without help.
How long does this worksheet take?
The crocodiles are long, so 15–20 minutes for six rows is typical; counting the teeth on each finished crocodile makes a fun check at the end.
