Glue each of these popsicle sticks to the group of 11, one on top, in the middle, and on the bottom. If you don’t want to use glue dots, replace them with hot glue and do the same steps as above.

Paint the popsicle sticks in 1-2 thin coats of green paint. Let it dry completely before moving on.

Begin to make the frog by gluing the belly to the middle and bottom of the frog.

Place the outer legs on both sides of the belly and glue them in place.

Next, glue the inner legs just inside the outer legs.

Create the mouth by gluing the tongue to the bottom of the mouth. Glue the completed mouth to the middle of the frog, just above the belly.
