An Easy, Fun Way to Get Your Kiddos to Sing Louder... with Crescendo Crocodile! 

An easy craft that you can use time and time again for when you need something easy and quick to motivate the kids to sing out.

Join CRESCENDO CROCODILE for some singing time fun! Simply open the mouth and make it bigger to have the kids sing louder and make the mouth smaller to have the kids sing softer.

WHAT YOU NEED:

Green Cardstock

White Paper

Poster board

White Cardstock

Scissors

Black Marker

HOW TO MAKE:

You can make your crocodile as you see fit but, here is what I did:

1) Draw out the rounded end of the crocodile's mouth on a piece of paper. Cut it out and use as a pattern. 

2) Trace the rounded end on two pieces of green paper. Cut out. 

   3) Attach the rounded ends to other green    paper with tape and trim down to make the    same size. (How many papers you add

  depends on how big/long you want the

  mouth to be). 

  4) Glue the green mouth strips on to poster    board and cut out.

5) Cut enough triangles ("teeth") to fit across 2/3 of each of the mouth pieces.

  6) Attach to the mouth with tape. Then glue both mouth sections on to poster board to reinforce. 

 7) Cut out a circle and fill in a smaller black circle with the marker or crayon for the eye then attach to the top left side of the top mouth strip.

8) Overlap the two left side strip ends and attach with a large brass fastener so the mouth can open and close while not coming fully apart (as in the picture to the left).

Open the mouth wider to have the kids sing louder and close it to have them sing softer.

Invite helpers up to use Crescendo Crocodile as well.
