We’re always in the mood to make Spring Crafts for kids (check out our Moving Bird Paper Dolls or have fun learning with this Ladybug Matching Cardboard Activity).

If you want to learn How to Draw a Frog, we also have a step-by-step tutorial for you.

We love frogs – you can tell by the amount of frog crafts we have on our site.

Today we will show you how to make a funny frog on a water lily that happily sticks out its tongue.

We make our frogs green, but not all frogs are green – you already know that.

So you can make your frog any color you want and share it with us afterwards – we’ll be happy to see it!

Step-by-step instructions

Lily Pad

Draw a circle with a diameter of 16 cm on dark blue cardboard.

Cut out circles and triangles to create lily pads.

Take a white marker and decorate it.

Reedmace

Draw a strip measuring 1 x 12 cm on dark blue cardboard.

Cut the strip of paper and make a fold at one end of it.

Apply some glue on it and stick the fabric strip on the lily piece.

Take scissors and sharpen the other end of the strip.

Draw an oval on brown cardstock.

Cut it out.

Glue the oval onto the green strip and make sure the pointed part sticks out. Our Reedmace is now complete.

Reinforce the green strip (stem) with another piece of green cardboard if it doesn’t stay upright and is bent.

Decorate the reed with a white marker as shown.

Frog

First, we need to cut out a green rectangle measuring 7 x 15 cm.

Make a roll and glue its ends together.

Stick the paper roll in the middle of the lily pad.

Draw two strips measuring 1 x 13 cm on green paper.

Cut them out.

Create the frog’s legs and feet by folding two strips as shown.

Glue the legs inside the roll and the legs onto the lily piece.

Punch two green circles to form the frog’s eyes.

Fold a small portion of the green circle.

Stick them on the frog’s body.

Draw two circles (smaller than the green ones) on the white paper.

Cut them out.

Glue them onto the green circles.

Take the big eyes and attach them to the white circles.

Now punch out a red circle.

Fold a small part of it,

Stick it on the frog like a tongue.

Draw two small circles on pink paper.

Cut them out.

Stick them on the frog for cheeks.

Clack, clack!

All has been done!
