First graders really enjoyed making these simple alligators/crocodiles from jumbo craft sticks, paper and pipe cleaners. This is about a 20 minute lesson that I do in the spring on a day when we finish one project and need something 3 dimensional to do for the rest of the art period.
Color on a jumbo craft stick with markers or crayons, making alligator or crocodile type skin pattern.
Draw a tail and head on green paper, add details with marker or crayon and cut out.
Glue head and tail at ends of craft stick and tape two pipe cleaners underneath for legs. Bend pipe cleaners down until alligator balances and stands up. The kids just love these little sculptures and I love the simple art supplies needed!
