Getting the Animal Alphabet A is for Alligator Craft Ready

Choose whether you’d like your students to have the tracing version of the craft (includes dotted letters to trace “A a is for Alligator” at the bottom of the page), or the non-tracing version. Print out enough letters for each student. Also be sure to print off enough copies of the craft pieces for each student (plus a couple extras for mistakes).

Doing the Animal Alphabet A is for Alligator Craft

I told my kids we were going to be doing an “A is for Alligator” craft. We talked about what color alligators are and they chose which shade of green they wanted to color their letter (the letter A forms the alligator’s head).

I chose to print out the sheets that included the tracing option at the bottom of the page. Since these crafts are meant to be fun, my kids also got to use fun colored pencils to trace their sentence with (instead of regular lead pencils).

After they finished coloring and tracing, I passed out the paper with the craft pieces on it. Using child-safe scissors, my kids carefully cut each piece out of the sheet.

Next, it was time to glue the craft pieces onto their letters to form alligators! If you are having your students use white glue, remind them that “just a dab of glue will do!”

Some students may want an example to see where each piece is supposed to go (there is a sample of what each finished craft will look like in the printable pack). Other students might like flexing their creative side and making Picasso-esque crafts. We think each option is perfectly acceptable!
