Materials:
- Egg carton
- Green paint
- Paintbrush
- Scissors
- Google eyes
- White glue
Instructions:
- Cut out two rows of cups from the left end of the egg carton. You should have 4 cups total. One row of two will be the alligator’s eyes. Discard the second row.
- Using green paint and a paintbrush, paint the top of the egg carton. You may need to apply two coats of paint to cover the carton completely. Allow the paint to dry between coats.
- Paint the bottom cups white, as well as the row of cups that you cut out. You may need to apply two coats. The bottom cups will be the alligator’s teeth.
- Glue two google eyes onto the circular part of the cut out row of cups.
- Glue these eyes sideways to the top of the egg carton on the far end that has the cups cut out. See photo.
- Allow the glue to dry completely before playing with your new alligator friend.
Optional:
- For added texture and detail, you can use a small paintbrush to add lighter or darker shades of green to the alligator’s skin.
- You can also use a black marker to draw nostrils or scales onto the alligator’s head.
