How to Make Your Own Eating Frog

This eating frog craft comes together so quickly and easily! Just grab a few supplies and follow our easy step-by-step instructions.

Once it’s all assembled, then you and your kids have a fun little frog to play with. You can practice getting the fly into the frog’s mouth, just like those classic cup-and-ball toys, or act out silly songs and stories with your frog. Really, the sky’s the limit!

Supplies List:

• toilet paper roll
• green and red construction papers
• glue
• scissors
• black marker
• stapler (and staples, of course)
• yarn
• printed copy of eyes and fly

Eating Frog Craft Instructions:

Step 1:

Cut a piece of green construction paper to fit wrapped around the toilet paper roll and glue in place.

Step 2:

Squeeze one end of the toilet paper roll shut and staple to secure.

Step 3:

Cut a length of yarn, long enough to go all the way through the mouth and hang out a bit. Feed it all the way through the toilet paper roll, then staple the end of the yarn in the middle of the closed end of the roll.

Step 4:

Cut a red paper strip that will be the frog’s mouth and glue it inside the roll. (Make sure it doesn’t trap the yarn – the yarn should still go through the center of the mouth, meaning it should be in the middle of the red circle.)

Step 5:

Print and cut out the eyes, then glue them to the toilet paper roll, near the mouth. (Click here if you haven’t already printed them out.)

Step 6:

Cut out the fly, then glue it to the yarn. 

Step 7:

Draw the arms and legs in a piece of green construction paper, then cut them and glue them onto the bottom of the frog’s body.

Now you have a friendly frog  to play with your kids!
