Feed the crocodile
Draw a large crocodile face on a piece of poster board or the side of a box.
Cut a hole out where the crocodile's mouth would be and add paper teeth (make
it at least twice the size of the beanbag). Tape the board to a chair and let
each of your children take three tries to feed the crocodile (by throwing a
beanbag into the crocodile's mouth).
