Frogs, Toads And Pollywogs for Spring

printable paper toy frog

    Cut out the two sides of the frog and paste them together, with a cardboard in between. After pasting the two sides back to back, with the cardboard in between, cut the inside contours, such as between the legs and the arms. Then punch out the holes for the string and fasten the string to a small stick to complete the trapeze. Hold the frog by this stick as you make him go through his performance. Besides the two ways of hanging from the trapeze shown in the sketches, he can also bend his body and hook on (at the places marked X) by one leg. Or he may slide up and down, with the string passing through those places marked with X's.

Need to draw lots of pond life? Here are some step-by-step drawing guides for those of you who
need to learn about dragon-flys, water-lilies, frogs, and tadpoles.

Teachers may download the image above and print one for each student. Ask the students
 to give the King of all pollywogs a crown, scepter, perhaps even a robe. Then challenge them
 to doodle thousands of tadpoles, frogs and toads surrounding their King.
