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!
