Crocodile Gardening Coloring Page

About this page

Down on one knee in the dirt, a crocodile wearing overalls scoops soil with a small hand trowel. The overalls have two round buttons at the straps and a patch pocket in the middle. Its broad smile shows several teeth, and the snout stretches out to the right. In front, a low mound of earth carries three little sprouts, each with two leaves, spaced across the lower right. A row of spikes runs down the back and the tail curves out behind at the left. The trowel is held in the right hand and just touches the ground near a sprout. Clothing, soil and tiny plants make a good set of small tasks for a medium page, ideal for kids who like gardens.
