Waving Crocodile Coloring Page

About this page

A crocodile stands on two feet and lifts its right hand in a cheerful wave, its mouth open wide enough to show a pink tongue area and a row of pointed teeth. The other arm hangs at its side. A broad belly with horizontal bands fills the center, and a ridge of spikes runs down from the head to a tail that swings out at the lower left, striped near the tip. The snout points up and to the right, with round nostrils at its end. Feet have a few toes at the bottom. No scenery is drawn. The wave and the open mouth give the page a greeting feel, so it works nicely as a welcome picture. It suits kids who want a clear, easy page with lots of space to color.
