I found this alligator and liked the idea of using an egg carton for the body, but instead of using sequins to add texture to the nose and tail, we used bubble wrap. C and R painted the egg carton and bubble wrap green and we assembled the alligator together.
R also made an alligator A like the one featured on No Time for Flashcards. I cut out the A and she used dot markers to color it, and then glued on teeth and googly eyes.
