Crocodile Coloring Page
About This Coloring Page
The crocodile is the long smile with all the teeth, and the page draws it lying still for once: a friendly crocodile stretched along a riverbank, long tail curling behind, spots along its back, a small flower beside it, a round sun above and wavy water lines below.
The body is one long shape for broad strokes, the spots along the back are the small careful part, and the teeth along the smile are the row a child counts before colouring anything. The water is a few wavy lines along the bottom and the sun is a circle with rays.
Ask how many teeth it has and what it is smiling about. Then ask the child to open wide and show their own, and the page becomes a counting game and a tooth-brushing reminder at the same time.

How to Use This Coloring Page
- Count the teeth first. Touch each one along the smile and say the number. Then fill the body in one go.
- Spots next. The small shapes along the back. One colour, or a different one for each.
- Water, flower and sun last. Wavy lines along the bottom, one small flower, a circle with rays. Ask what it is waiting for.
