Towel Crocodile
On our cruise on the MSC Divina, one of the stewards kindly allowed us to video him folding a variety of towel animals. Considering that Bagus was not our steward we greatly appreciated that he went above and beyond the call of duty to make these videos for this blog.
Most of the animals in this series from the Divina are easier to make than a lot of the animals featured on this blog so far, which is quite nice for new towel animal folders or those who have problems with the more difficult towel animals. First up we have a crocodile.
Supplies Needed to Make a Towel Crocodile
Two Hand Towels
One Bath Towel

Towel Crocodile Folding Instructions
How to Fold Towel Crocodile Legs
fold a few inches over on hand towels to start the legs
Lay one hand towel out flat. Fold over several inches across one short end.
roll towel from folded edge
From folded edge, roll towel to other end.
crocodile legs
Bend rolled towel at the middle so it resembles a boomerang and set it down where you want one end of the crocodile to sit. Repeat with other towel and set parallel to first towel at the distance the hind legs go away from the front.
How to Fold Towel Crocodile Head and Body

This is the cutest! 🙂 Love it, Lois.
Gee, all my towels are white. Guess my croc would be albino.
The cruise ship towels are all white. Guess the croc in the video is an albino too.
Good to know. Doing sneaky blog reading and commenting off the iPhone at The Grind – not the most ideal environment to watch a video on how to fold a towel crocodile with The Boss sitting ten feet away. The older I get, the more I feel trapped in the 6th Grade.
Working hard or hardly working?
It could it also be a towel alligator if your cruise is leaving out of New Orleans.
These are brilliant!
We always enjoy coming back to our cabin and seeing which animal has been created – Our favorite so far is the monkey dangling from the coat hanger!
The hanging towel monkey is a favorite for many people. I have instructions for it here: https://mycruisestories.com/2012/04/14/how-to-fold-a-cruise-ship-hanging-towel-monkey/
