Crocodile Holding a Fish Coloring Page

About this page

Standing tall, a crocodile holds a small fish up in one hand at the right, with the fish tipped slightly as if it is saying hello. The fish has a round eye, a few scale lines, a tail and a fin. The crocodile's mouth opens in a broad smile showing teeth, and its snout points up toward the top right. Belly bands run from the chin to the hips, and spikes edge its back down to a long, striped tail that swings out at the lower left. The other arm hangs at its side. The fish is a tiny detail next to the large body, which stays simple and open for any color you like. A cheerful easy page for kids who enjoy animal snacks.
