Letter-shaped animals are a cute way to bring letters to life for your little one. The letter A lends itself perfectly to the big jaws of an alligator!

I cut a letter A from green construction paper, and several triangles from white paper to be the teeth. Attach the teeth to the sides of the A with glue.

Travis’s favorite part of the craft was applying the glue so we could add buttons as “scales,” a task he took very seriously! We used green buttons for the scales and 2 blue buttons for eyes.

Voila, A is for Alligator… Watch out or he might eat extra buttons!
