Instructions for making a paper cup frog

Step 1

Use scissors to cut out feet and eyes from your green construction paper.

Craft tip: I recommend drawing the shapes onto the construction paper with a pencil before cutting them out. You can even fold your paper in half to cut out a matching pair at the same time.

Step 2

Glue the construction paper frog parts onto the green paper cup.

I recommend gluing the googly eyes onto the green paper and setting them aside to dry. Once they are dry then glue them onto the paper cup.
