CHARLIE THE CROCODILE
Tell mother not to throw away her empty reels, and ask your little friends to collect some for you. 'Then you can make a lovely crocodile out of them. It doesn’t matter if they are of different sizes. In fact, it is better, for then Charlie can* taper d'own to the end of his tail, as in 'real life. Just string all the reels together, putting the biggest ones at one end, and tlie smaller ones at the other end. Don’t have the string too tight, because you want his body to be wriggly. When the reels are all strung up, paint them all over with dabs of red and green and black paint. And make a head from a potato, fashioning the long nose with a knife and painting in the eyes. Charlie will give you plenty of amusement.
