We had loads of fun playing with this frog puppet.  I must admit that I hogged him quite a bit.  You'd be amazed at how much better children listen when the frog tells them to clean up a mess than when mommy asks them to. *grin*

Materials:

• large paper plate,
• green tempra paint,
• a printer,
• something to color with,
• scissors,
• glue,
• paper

Instructions:

• Paint the plate with green tempra paint and set aside to dry.
• Print out the craft template of choice.
• Color (if using the black and white version of the craft) and cut out the template pieces.
• Once the plate is dry, glue the legs to the bottom and the arms on the sides.
• Fold the plate in half and crease (the arms and legs should both be on the bottom half of the plate.
• Glue the eyes onto the top of the plate.
• Glue the tongue into the inside of the plate (mouth).  Curl the tongue with a pencil to make it more frog-like.

Templates:

• Close the template window after printing to return to this screen.
• Set page margins to zero if you have trouble fitting the template on one page (FILE, PAGE SETUP or FILE, PRINTER SETUP in most browsers).
