Crocodile in the Lily Pond With Dragonflies, Reptiles Printable
Coloring guide
Only the head, back, and curled tail of this grinning crocodile show above the calm pond, and ripples spread out around its friendly face. Big round eyes and a few small teeth along the smile make it look gentle, which is great for younger kids. Bumpy spikes and oval spots run along the back and tail, and they are fun to fill in. Two smiling dragonflies hover above, with tall reeds, rounded bushes, and a faraway shoreline behind the water. Three lily pads sit up front, and two of them have blooming water lilies. Green would suit the crocodile, pink or yellow the lily petals, and bright blue or purple the dragonfly wings. Print the sheet at home for a quiet creative moment.
