We made this fun activity at my daughter’s playgroup. It’s so easy to do and she had a ball with it! This is a great craft for teacher’s to use, playgroups, parties or just a fun afternoon of creativity for the kiddies!

To make your own you will need:

1 x egg carton

1 x large piece of bubble wrap (large enough to cover egg carton)

Green paint

Paint your bubble wrap with the green paint and let it dry

Step 2

Place your egg carton upside down onto the dried bubble wrap

Using your sticky tape start to wrap the egg carton as you would a present

Step 4

To make your ‘tail’ fold one of the ends into a triangle shape and tape down

Step 5

Using your green cardboard – roughly draw out the crocodile’s ‘leg’s as above (place the egg carton over the cardboard first to make sure the legs are big enough). Cut out your feet shapes. Step 6

Turn your crocodile on it’s back and position your cardboard feet where you would like them to go

Step 7

Tape down the legs (this was my daughter’s favourite part)

Step 8

Turn your Crocodile back over and add two dollops of glue to the front end of the crocodile
