Frog Puppet Paper Plate Craft

We had loads of fun playing with this frog puppet.  I must admit that I hogged him quite a bit.  You'd be amazed at how much better children listen when the frog tells them to clean up a mess than when mommy asks them to. *grin*

  

Materials:

  • large paper plate, 
  • green tempra paint, 
  • a printer, 
  • something to colour with, 
  • scissors, 
  • glue, 
  • paper

 

Instructions:

  • Paint the plate with green tempra paint and set aside to dry.
      
  • Print out the template of choice.
      
  • Colour (where appropriate) and cut out the template pieces. 
      
  • Once the plate is dry, glue the legs to the bottom and the arms on the sides.
      
  • Fold the plate in half and crease (the arms and legs should both be on the bottom half of the plate.
      
  • Glue the eyes onto the top of the plate. 
      
  • Glue the tongue into the inside of the plate (mouth).  Curl the tongue with a pencil to make it more frog-like.
