How do you make a wooden crocodile?

I think the best way to do it is to learn how to draw a crocodile first. Once you can draw a ship shape crock get a piece of paper (the same size as the wood you are going to use) and staple the paper down onto the wood and make sure it will not come off. Then once you have drawn the crock, make sure the paper will not lift up... Or everything will go wrong.....

Next get a saw or something that will cut round things through wood and cute out the shape on the paper and make sure your digging into the wood. So make sure the paper is down as much as it can and the staples aren't coming up at all. Make sure there are no creases in the paper when you do this. Then unstaple the paper and take it off and you wont need that again.. All you need to do is go back over the shape of your crock and take out the shape by lifting uo the big piece of wood. And there it is.. now you can paint.

You can do this with anything - horses, sheep! Absolutely anything you can draw! Hope this helps :)
