Step 1: Paint 4 long popsicle sticks green.
Step 2: Cut a popsicle stick into two smaller pieces ( the same width as the 4 popsicle sticks lined up together).
Step 3: Align the group of four into a row and secure with the two supporting pieces of popsicle sticks.
This will complete the crocodile’s body.
Step 4: Trace the crocodile elements onto green paper.
Step 5: Affix a pair of goggley eyes and draw nostrils and eyebrows.
Step 6: Glue the crocodile’s head onto one of the ends of the popsicle sticks.
Step 7: Affix the crocodiles legs and tail.
Step 8: Use a green marker pen to draw a row of random spots onto the crocodile’s body. Ideally, the marker pen will be a different shade of green to the popsicle sticks.
Once your Arty Crafty Kids have drawn the finishing touches to their crocodile, the popsicle craft is complete!
