A quick laminated set of alligators for this Flannel Friday!
This was a clipart alligator and I just made five of him/her. I used this in Alligators & Crocodiles storytime, with this rhyme from Esther Storytimes:
One little alligator swimming in a pool
Another comes along and now there are two
Two little alligators swimming by a tree
Another comes along and now there are three
Three little alligators swimming near the shore
Another comes along and now there are four
Four little alligators swim, splash, and dive
Another comes along and now there are five
Five little alligators having lots of fun
Mama calls, “It’s time for bed!” and now the fun is done!
It occurs to me as I write this post that these could also potentially be crocodiles because I have no idea what the difference between the two animals are! Maybe the clipart will work for both.

Alligators have shorter, wider snouts; crocodiles have a long, skinny snout (I think there are a couple of other differences, but this is the one I always remember).
But yours are suitably generic to pass for either 🙂
That’s good to know!
Thanks for the gator/croc info. I will hopefully remember that the next time a kiddo asks me who is who.
Hello – I just made some gators for a storytime with animals and there babies. I can use this rhyme in the future 🙂
I’m glad to hear that!
When they close their mouths, you cannot see the teeth on the alligator. You can see the fourth bottom tooth on the crocodile. My son was obsessed with reptiles. I have way too much useless info in my head!
But this is HELPFUL to me! So I guess for these guys, I can still use either since their mouths are open.
