Surprises
Hi everybody.
Venus, Frincess and I wanted to show our gifts we had received from the teachers at Paula’s Tiny Tots.
With the children they made us a meaningful card which says ” thank you for visiting us”. We just love it!! Also they had made us an envelope resembling a glitzy T-shirt and in this envelope were 3 bars of Cadbury Chocolate mousse!!! Yum yum yum!.
We were very spoilt weren’t we.
I love surprises, do you?
Thank you to all the teachers and the kids for having us. We loved our day out xx
Paulas Tiny Tots
Frincess, Venus and I went visiting the children who go to Paulas Tiny Tots. This is a place where children get looked after when Mums and Dads need to go to work.
We had a fantastic Time singing a few songs with these wee kids and it was so much fun watching them dance with us.
The teachers organised us to come and visit an we were an absolute surprise for the children.
But you know what? the children were a surprise to us also because they themselves were all dressed up in outfits like bumble bees. fairies and there was even a Crocodile and also a Robin Hood!!!.
Thank you To Charlotte, who works at Paulas Tiny Tots, for organising our fabulous visit. xx
The Richmond School Gala
We are absolutely thrilled with the outcome of this fantastic fundraiser for the Richmond school. So many people were involved by running the cake stalls, toys for sale, books and clothes and much much more. also the big bouncy castle had been blown up for the kids to jump on. We did our show at 12 o’clock and loved every second of it. The kids were wonderful. They jumped up and joined in with our Choo Coo train and many more of our dances.We even had a child ask if we could sing Boogie Woogie!!!It truly was a fantastic day
Fundraising For Richmond School
All us Croco’s are so looking forward to The Richmond School Gala which is on this Saturday. We are helping to fundraise much needed money for the school. We hope to see many of our Croco Buddies there. 12 O’clock we will sing and dance to a few of our favourite tunes. See you there!! xxx

We will be performing for the local children of Nelson and surrounding areas. This is a fundraiser for the local Kindergarten and we are so proud to be part of this event. Tickets are only $5.00 each. Roll on Saturday….. YIPPY!
A Gift ‘From The Heart’
There is a very old saying that all our grandmothers used to love too say, and it’s these words…
” The gift matters not as much as the thought that went into the the giving”
Yes it sounds very grown up doesn’t it!!.
But let me tell you what that really means…
When you give something to somebody, it doesn’t have to be anything expensive!.
In fact, it doesn’t even have to be something you had too buy at the shop even!!
The gift just has too be something you are giving because you want make somebody else happy.
If you can do that then this is what we call
‘ Giving from the heart’
and that’s a really nice thing you can do for somebody!.
Take this beautiful flower for instance.
This flower was given to me by a 6 year old fan who picked this flower all by himself.
He thought it was the prettiest flower on the bush and therefore he wanted to pick it off and give it to Gerry the Crocodette.
When he gave me this flower he made me feel like the happiest Crocodette ever, for not only is this a beautiful flower, it’s the fact that he purposely picked it for me to make me happy!!.
And do you know something?!! He made me very happy!!
This is the most meaningful flower I have ever been given.
This is why we Croco’s love receiving beautiful paintings and drawings of our fans too.
It’s the fact they are thinking of us all and they want to give us their art work because they know it will make us happy.
And that it does indeed my friends, it makes us all very happy when we are given things that were given ‘from the heart’ xoxoxoxox
Performing Live
We love performing live!!
This is where we have so much fun getting the crowds involved. We love it when everybody joins in making trains and even following Herman for when he plays The Yeti Strut. Then there is another one of Hermans favourite game ‘Butterflies’.
Frincess, not to be outdone, will get you doing the twist with her!
It’s all so much fun.
We can’t wait for many more of you too join us at one of our live concerts xx
Pat and Herman
Pat and Herman had another great day out together.
They went fishing!!!
When Pat came home he told us the funniest thing ever!
He told us Herman caught a shoe!!
We all thought that was really funny.
Did they catch any fish?
No they didn’t however Pat said they thoroughly enjoyed a day out.
