Frog Paper Plate Craft
Frogs are an important part of the food chain: they eat all kinds of the worlds flies with their long tongues.
We’ve created a frog out of a paper plate and some paint. This frog craft is very easy to make and minimal supplies are needed.
It is a great way to teach a little one more about our amphibian friends.
We have even given him a long tongue: use it to demonstrate just how frogs catch all those flies.
This little guy is just one of my paper plate animal crafts and I have lots more!
Make an adorable frog from a paper plate and a few other craft supplies you have around the house. kids will have a blast making this! Step #1: Paint the inside with red paint, adding a line around the outside of green. The green is your frogs' lips. Allow this to dry. Step #2: Paint the outside of the plate with green paint. Again, allow this to dry. Fold your paper plate in half. Step #3: Create arms and legs out of the green construction paper. They are all the same shape, you just need two large ones and two small ones. Step #4: Cut out a head from the green paper, it is just enough space for his eyes. Add a little extra on the bottom so we can glue it to the plate. Cut out two ovals from white paper and draw on pupils with the black marker. Step #5: Cut a strip of pink paper. Round one end, this is our tongue. Wrap it around the marker to curl it. Step #6 Glue your frog's eyes onto the top of the paper plate. Step #7 Now, just glue on your arms and legs. These will be glued to the bottom of the plate. Step #8 Glue the flat edge of the tongue to the center of the inside of your frogs mouth. Our hopping fly catcher frog is ready for action!
