How to Make a Paper Plate Frog

	Paint the bottom of the paper plate with the light green color.
	Once the paint is dry, glue on green yarn to create some spots. Tip: You can also just use dark green paint.
	Cut your toilet paper roll in half. Cover each half with green construction paper.
	Trace a circle from the roll onto black construction paper. Cut out the circle (slightly larger than what you traced). Glue this to one end of each of the cardboard roll halves. Repeat this step using green construction paper and glue to the back of the rolls.
	Glue on wiggle eyes to each of the rolls. Glue each roll onto the paper plate towards the front to create the frog's eyes. Tip: You can use white paper and black marker to make the eyes if you don't have wiggle eyes.
	With the green card stock or craft foam, cut out two back legs and two front legs. You can use this template or create your own legs. Glue these to the sides of the plate.
	With the red paper, cut out a tongue for the frog. Glue this to the inside portion of the plate.

You can set this paper plate frog craft for kids on a table or glue a paper clip on the plate for hanging. If you want to make this into a pull toy, check out the instructions on my article at ehow.com on how to create a pull toy paper plate frog craft.
