Floating Crocodile Coloring Page

About this page

Stretched out low along a wavy line of water, a crocodile floats with only its upper body showing above the surface. Its head sits at the right, smiling with an open mouth and a row of small teeth, and its snout points right. Two front paws rest on the water line at the bottom, and the tail rises in a tall curve at the left with bands along its side. Oval spots decorate the back, and little scallops sit on the ridge. The wavy line is the only scenery, which leaves an empty sky and plenty of white space. Wide, simple shapes make coloring quick, so this is a good easy page for kids who like water animals and want a small, uncluttered scene.
