While a real alligator's meal of choice ranges from snails to snakes, this toothy reptile will be more than happy to munch on whatever pens and pencils your child has to offer.

Prep Time: Under 1 hour
What you need:
 Two new green kitchen scrub pads
Scissors
Red felt
White felt
Tacky glue
Googly eyes
Green pom-poms
Black pom-pom
Green rickrack
Seasons: Evening, Fall, Rainy day, Year round
Materials: fabric
Instructions:
1.Start by trimming two new green kitchen scrub pads into elongated pocket shapes. Then cut two similar shapes from red felt. From white felt, cut triangular teeth and use tacky glue to stick several to the rounded edge of each scrub pad. Glue a red felt piece atop each scrub pad, covering the bases of the felt teeth.
2.Next, stack the scrub pads with the red felt pieces face-to-face. Glue all along the straight edges but leave the rounded, toothy edges unglued to create the alligator's open mouth.
3.To make the gator's face, glue googly eyes onto green pom-poms, then glue the pom-poms to the top of the head. Finally, affix green rickrack ridges and black pom-pom nostrils atop his snout, and your reptile is ready for the first course of writing utensils.

My eight year old is going to love this project. So many ideas out there are for the younger kids, I think this one is perfect for her.
