Easy Frog Craft for Kids




Summer is in full swing....and ending all too quickly! If you're kids have any bored days where they are jumping off the walls like little frogs....then here's a super easy craft they can create with all that froggy energy!

Supplies:
How to Make it!
  1. Use the light green paper to cut out a big oval shape for the frog's face.
  2. Use the white paper to cut out 2 big circles, and the black paper to cut out 2 small circles. These are the eyes.
  3. Use the red paper to cut out a long skinny strip, and then cut the end of it to look like the frog's tongue.
  4. Use a hole punch on the dark green paper to punch out a few little circles for the spots on the frog's face.
  5. Glue the eyes on the top of the oval, so they stick up from the face a little bit.
  6. Draw a smile with a black marker, then glue the tongue as if it's coming out of the side of the mouth. You can even put a little bend or curl on the tongue.
  7. Glue the small green circles to the sides of the frog's face like cute little froggy warts!








All done! 
Hang it up to display
OR you could even make a few and put on a puppet show!
Ribbit, ribbit.

Starfish Ocean Craft for Kids


This cute starfish craft is a great activity for summer, an ocean theme for preschool, or even for no other reason than to have a cute starfish friend!
Check it out!



Supplies:
  • White paper
  • Tempera Paint - orange, yellow, purple. Or any other colors you want on your starfish! (ps. I highly recommend this Crayola Tempera Paint.)
  • Hole Puncher
  • Scissors
  • Glue
  • Googly Eyes
  • Black marker


How to Make it:
  1. Paint a couple pieces of paper in the different colors you have chosen for your starfish. (We used a combination of yellow and orange on a paper for the starfish body, and other colors for the spots)
  2. Let the paint dry for a few hours, or overnight.
  3. Cut out a starfish shape (you can draw a shape on paper until you get it how you'd like it. Some starfish are fat, some are skinny. Some pointy and some round. There are many possibilities!)
  4. With a hole punch, punch out some small circles from the other colors of papers you painted.
  5. Glue on the small circles, and the googly eyes.
  6. Draw a smile with a black marker. All done!


And here are some cute books to go along with this fun starfish craft!
