Cute Crocodile

Meet this cheerful young crocodile, a friendly riverbank character with bright eyes, a rounded snout, sturdy little legs, simple back scales and a long curling tail. Children can colour the body bright green, olive or yellow-green, then use a lighter green or pale yellow for the belly and underside of the tail. Try cream for the small teeth, dark green for the back scales, pink inside the mouth, and brown or grey for the claws. Add blue shades to the water, fresh greens to the grass and bush, bright colours to the flowers, and pale blue to the clouds. Colour slowly inside the thick lines, leave a few white highlights, and draw fish, dragonflies or sunshine in the open spaces.
