Coloring page story
Cody the Crocodile had a grin with one hundred teeth. But one day, a tiny tooth fell out while he was splashing. Splash, plink! He looked at his friend, Flopsy the fish. "Don't look!" he mumbled, covering his mouth with his big green hand. He was afraid Flopsy would be scared of the gap. But Flopsy swam closer. "Wow, Cody! What's that?" he bubbled. Cody shyly showed him the tiny space. Flopsy giggled. "It looks... friendly! Your big scary grin is now a little gappy grin!" From that day on, all the little fish weren't scared of Cody. His little gap made him look so friendly that everyone wanted to be his friend.
Coloring page Age Appropriateness
The anthropomorphic style with exaggerated, friendly expressions is perfect for ages 3-5. It turns a potentially scary animal into a lovable friend, and visually demonstrates how the toothless gap makes him *more* approachable, reinforcing the story's positive message about embracing differences.
Coloring Page Coloring Instructions
Wow, look at Cody's big friendly smile! What color will you make your crocodile? A classic green, or maybe a silly blue or purple? Flopsy the fish can be a rainbow of colors! You can color the water a nice blue, and don't forget to make the little bubbles shiny. Let's give Cody the happiest, most colorful gappy grin in the whole river!
Coloring Page Printing Tips
To make the water scene pop, consider printing on light blue paper. This provides a cool background and lets the child focus on coloring the characters. Ensure the print settings are on a dark 'black ink only' mode for maximum contrast.
Recommended Tools
Washable markers will make the large areas of the crocodile and water vibrant and fun. Using a white crayon to draw patterns on the crocodile before coloring over it with a green marker can create a cool, scaly texture! It's a fun magic trick for your little artist.
