When it's thoroughly dry, fold the plate in half and use a utility knife (parents only) to make a 1-inch slit (for the frog's tongue) in the center of the fold. |
| 2. |
Create a fingerhold on the underside of the body using a 2-by-3-inch piece of green construction paper. |
| 3. |
Center it on the bottom of the folded plate and tape the shorter edges in place. |
| 4. |
For eyes, cut out a pair of 1-by-2-inch green rectangles and round the upper edges. |
| 5. |
Fold each rectangle in half and glue the lower portion to the top of the body. |
| 6. |

Cut frog legs out of construction paper, a shorter set for the front and a long, bent pair for the back. |
| 8. |
Tape the tops of the legs to the underside of the body. |

Cut out a 3/4-by-7-inch tongue from red construction paper. Round one end and slip it through the slit. To wag the frog's tongue, jiggle the straight end. |
