I originally posted this fun craft idea back in 2008. That translates to the dark ages ago in blog years. Not only did you probably not know this idea existed on my site – I had even forgotten all about it.
I think that frog is too cute to be ignored, and that this craft is to simple not to bring to your attention. For those of you who love detailed craft projects – this one will not interest you and I say, “You go, Girl!” I am simply not super gifted in the crafting arena, so I stick with cut out frogs, hole punches, and candy canes.
Supplies you will need:
- Red cardstock, cut in half and folded over to make a card
- Frog pattern
- Green cardstock for frogs
- Print out of Merry Christmas sign
- Googly eyes
- Candy canes
- Blow markers (optional)
- Markers
- Glue bottle
- Glue stick
- Hole punch
- Scissors
To Make:
Print frog pattern, trace onto green cardstock and cut out. Punch a hole on both sides of the frog. Carefully slide candy cane through the holes to look like the frog is “holding” it. Draw a smile onto the frog. Use green blow marker to make “speckles” (optional).
Use a glue stick to glue frog onto card. Glue googly eyes on with glue bottle.
Use glue stick to attach “Merry Christmas and a HOPPY New year” sign to card.
It’s as easy as that. Your kids can enjoy making these cards for classmates, Bible class teachers, neighbors – whoever you’d like to bless. :)
