How to make 3D frog life cycle crafts

¸

What you need:

Step by step instructions

Print out a template – either a pre-colored template or a black and white 3D diorama template. With a black and white template, the first step you need to do is color it.

Cut out the pattern pieces – cut along the full outer contour.

Cut all 4 parts.

Next fold along the dotted lines on the diorama model template.

Makes the folds nice and sharp.

Run your fingers through the folds or use a craft stick.

Apply glue to the area marked with the word glue.

Push the glued part into the quarter circle and glue them together. You will have a quarter cylinder.

Repeat with the remaining 3 sections.

Now glue them together.

Start by gluing the first two pieces together – apply glue to the entire side of one piece and glue them together.

Wait for the glue to dry.

Continue with the rest.

Now cut out the parts that represent the life cycle of a frog.

You can add or exclude the name section.

You will see dashed lines and words attached to each part.

Fold along the dotted lines and apply glue to the indicated locations.

For the eggs, fold along the dotted lines, apply glue and stick them somewhere in the water.

Next comes the tadpole stage, folding the parts in half…

…and paste it inside the model as shown in the image below.

Next is the frog, you can make the frog’s head stick out of the water.

Finally, the frog.

First, glue the lily pads to the model.

Then place the frog on top of the water lily leaf.

You can also label each stage of the frog’s life cycle on the model.

Done, your 3D frog life cycle model is ready to display.
