Ingredients
- Green pipe cleaners (for the body and tail)
- Yellow or white pipe cleaners (for the underbelly)
- Black pipe cleaners (for eyes and legs)
- Scissors (for easy trimming)
- Googly eyes (optional, for playful touches)
- A flat working surface
- A cozy corner to enjoy creating
Instructions
- Start with a green pipe cleaner, about 12 inches long. Gently bend it in the middle to create the crocodile’s body.
- Use another green pipe cleaner to form a tail. Twist one end tightly to create a tapered point. Attach it to one end of the bent pipe cleaner for the body.
- Take a black pipe cleaner and cut it into four equal short pieces. Bend each piece slightly to create legs. Attach them evenly along the underbelly of your crocodile.
- For the underbelly, take a yellow or white pipe cleaner. Trim it to match the crocodile’s length and attach it underneath, twisting it around the body.
- To create the head, bend another green pipe cleaner to shape it. Attach it at the opposite end of the croc’s body. Use scissors to trim if you desire a specific size.
- Now for some personality: gently push the googly eyes onto the head or use small pieces of black pipe cleaner to create eyes.
- Add any additional details that spark your inspiration.
- Once you finish, take a moment to admire your handiwork.
