We originally made this easy kids’ craft to give to Mom on Mother’s Day, but it works just as well for Father’s Day or for a loved one’s birthday.

And, if you didn’t already know, we love animal crafts, so it fits in perfectly!

If you’re worried about making this craft, don’t worry – we’ve included a free printable template so you don’t have to do any drawing.

All you need to do is print it out on colored paper, cut, and get crafting.

Frog Craft Idea

Aren’t homemade cards the best?

Parents and grandparents love them because they’re just so sweet and sentimental. We love them because they are cheap, quick, and fun to make.

You probably already have everything you need to make this frog card in your craft closet. Take a look at the supplies below.

Supplies

• Colored card stock (in light green, green, pink and red)
• Black marker
• Scissors
• Glue stick (this one is our favorite for thick paper)
• Frog template (download form located at the end of the page)

Directions

Download the frog template, print, and cut out the pieces.

Place the light green belly on the frog’s body and glue in place.

Place the frog’s front legs on either side of the belly and glue down. Glue the frog’s back legs on either side of the front legs. See the picture below for reference.

Position the light green mouth area on the bottom part of the frog’s face and glue. Trim off the excess paper.

Glue the pink tongue onto the red mouth and trim off any excess paper. Place the completed mouth in the middle of the face, where the light green paper is. Glue in place.

Glue the frog’s eyes to the top, backside of the head.

Take the completed frog face and glue it to the body.

Open up the frog’s face to write your special message inside!

Isn’t that frog’s expression so happy? It goes perfectly with spring!

If you don’t need a handmade card, you can always make this frog craft without the card part. Simply trace the head onto a flat piece of paper instead of a folded one and you’re all set.

Make This Craft With Young Kids

We love making kids crafts that can work with a wide variety of ages. That way, if you have multiple kids, they can all work on it together.

If this craft has too many steps for your child, here are some ways you can adapt it to make it even more simple.

First, you can cut out the pieces ahead of time. If your child can use scissors properly, this is an excellent way for them to sharpen up their scissor skills. But, if they haven’t learned that yet, just cut out the template and have the pieces ready to go.

Secondly, consider assembling part of the craft for them. You can still involve them in it by asking for the parts of the body. Questions like, “Can you help me find the frog’s leg?” will help them feel helpful.

Finally, you can skip the body part altogether and just make the head! This will save you lots of steps and cutting. It’s a great option for young preschoolers.
