Water game inspired by Bluey

So, inspired by Bluey, I started playing a new water-based game with my son and daughter, for the past few months, who absolutely love it.

Welcome to “Crocodile” (it’s inspired by Australia, after all!)

Dad is at one end of the water with one of the child’s toys sitting next to him on the edge of tub or pool.
Child magically turns dad into an animal (Crocodile was the first one), so dad magically turns into a very sleepy crocodile protecting his “treasure” with his eyes closed.
Child has to sneak past to retrieve their toy from the crocodile, who sleeps rather restlessly, and occasionally flexes/snaps it’s jaws (dads arms) as noise and ripples disturb it’s otherwise tranquil slumber.

Of course I give them a few “scares”, then let them grab the toy, to the tune of much giggling.

We’ve also done

jellyfish (fingers floating lazily on the water), no stinging, but these jellies tickle!
hippo (snoozing with mouth under water, breathing through nose blowing bubbles)
ducky (two fingers clicking together), not super scary.
and monkey (mostly just noise).

Anyway, as usual, thanks to Bluey for getting dad thinking outside the box to play with his kids even more.
