How to Make a Toilet Paper Frog Craft - Directions:
STEP 1 - Prep your supplies:
Let's begin! For starters, gather your supplies and have your green construction paper ready.
STEP 2 - Add green construction paper
Take the green construction paper and cut it to fit around the toilet paper roll. Once it's a perfect size, wrap around the paper roll and glue it in place.
An alternative idea is to paint your toilet roll tube.
STEP 3 - Close one end of the toilet paper roll:
Using a stapler, staple one end of the toilet paper roll shut to create the frog's body (see image below).
STEP 4 - Prepare the string:
Cut a long piece of string and stick it inside of your toilet paper roll, then staple it in place. Make sure the string is long enough to go all the way through the opening and out the otherside.
STEP 5 - Make the frog's mouth:
Now you need to make the frog's mouth. To do it, cut a strip of red paper and attach it to the inside of your roll using glue.
STEP 6 - Add the frogs eyes, arms and legs and attach the fly
Now, cut out two small circles as eyes, add a black dot in the centre and then glue them on. Then draw and cut out a fly and attach it to the string using glue or a staple.
Draw and cut out the frogs arms and legs from your green construction paper.
TIP: Fold your construction paper in half and draw one arm and one leg. When you cut them out you will end up with two identical arms and two identical legs.
STEP 7 - Put your toilet roll frog together!
Now it is time to complete your frog craft by gluing the arms and legs in place. Add a few markings to your frogs body using markers too if you like!
Now this adorable little frog craft is ready for playtime! Throw the fly in the air and try to catch it using your toilet paper roll frog. It is harder than you think! Enjoy!
