Activity 1 / A Crocodile's Teeth Worksheet
Begin this exercise by asking your child if they can identify the animal in the picture. If your kids really love the animal channels and watching documentaries, they might be more interested in this printout. If they have correctly identified the animal in the picture, ask them to count how many teeth they can see. You can help them count to find out the correct answer. Then, look at the options at the bottom of the printout. Help your little ones circle the correct answer.
