PRESCHOOL-

Bring your kid’s love for alligators to life with an animal clothespin craft that is quick and easy to make.

Supplies:

  • Clothespin

  • Green paint

  • Paintbrush

  • Green pipe cleaner

  • Scissors

  • Green construction paper

  • Wiggle eyes

  • Craft glue

  • Red paint

Directions:

  1. Paint your clothespin green everywhere except the bottom.

  2. While your clothespin dries, cut 2 pieces from your green pipe cleaner to form the legs and arms, then bend in a V shape and bend again at the ends for feet and hands.

  3. Glue the pipe cleaner legs and arms inside the clothespin — one towards the back and one inside where the clip will open.

  4. Next, cut a strip of construction paper the same width as your clothespin and accordion fold it down the length of the strip.

  5. Now, place 2 dabs of glue on top of the clothespin leaving enough for the alligator’s nose and affix the eyes. You’ll also need to run a line of glue down the alligator’s back and attach the accordion-folded construction paper to form bumps. You may need to lay it on its back until your glue is set.

  6. Finally, use your paintbrush to add a little red tongue just inside the clip’s opening to make your friendly alligator animal craft complete.

Directions:

  1. Cut out alligator head

  2. Walk around house

  3. Pick two objects to compare

  4. Ask your child “ Snappsy is hungry, which on is bigger?”

  5. Then have your child put the open mouth towards the bigger object.
