What You’ll Need to Make the Frog Paper Craft

How to Make the Frog Valentine Paper Craft

Step 1

Select two shades of green construction paper: one shade for the head, body, lower legs, and upper legs, and a second shade for the belly. Choose light pink paper for the blush on the cheeks, red paper for the heart, and white paper for the eyes.

Using the printable frog template, trace each piece on the appropriate shade of construction paper. Cut out all the pieces.

Step 2

Using a black Sharpie or gel pen, shade in the frog’s eyes as shown in the photo below.

Use a glue stick or liquid craft glue to attach the eye cutouts onto the rounded areas at the top of the frog’s head.

Using a glue stick or liquid craft glue, attach the blush cutouts on both cheeks. Use a Sharpie or gel pen to draw the mouth and nose on the frog’s face as shown in the photo below.
