DLTK's Crafts for Kids
Frog
Pouch Craft
I've had a lot of requests for more paper plate crafts.
This Frog Pouch is made with a paper plate and a half. I've
provided templates for dinner sized and snack sized plates.
Hang on your wall and use it to hold candy, hair elastics, notes
or any small items. It's great fun to make a different one
for each season and hang them in a special place (changing them
as the seasons change)

MATERIALS
it all depends on what option you use... you'll will need
either
- paper plate (whatever size) and 1/2 of the same size
paper plate
either
- green paint,
- green construction paper OR
- green tissue paper
either
- Template pieces provided, OR
- construction paper
INSTRUCTIONS
- Cut one of the plates in half and staple it to the whole
plate to form a pouch
OR
- hole punch the two plates and let the child "sew" the pouch
together with string, wool, lace or ribbon.
- Paint your paper plates green
OR
- glue green construction/tissue paper onto it (rip 1 inch
(ish) squares of construction/tissue paper and glue them on
with a mixture of 1/2 water and 1/2 regular children's white
glue. This is sort of like mod podging)
-
MAKE THE FACE
- Print out the template of choice. Colour (where
appropriate) and cut out the template pieces. (Younger
children may require assistance with the cutting.)
- OR skip the template and cut/draw your own pieces on
construction paper and glue them on (this is what we did)

PICTURE INSTRUCTIONS
- HOW WE DID OUR FROG:
Staple the pouch together (adult)
OR punch holes all the way around and have the child lace it
together with wool or string.
Paint green and let dry
Glue on template pieces (you can substitute wiggly eyes for the
template eyes).
