How To Make A Valentine’s Day Frog Craft

• Select green colored papers along with 2 different shades of pink paper for the frog card craft. The template includes the following patterns- head, body, lower legs, upper legs, blush, belly, eyes, and heart shape. Trace the template patterns on the selected colored papers and cut out the traced pattern.

• Attach the eye cutouts on the round extra parts on the top side of the head cutout.

• Attach the blush cutouts on both cheeks and use a sharpie to draw the mouth-line and nose of the papercraft frog figure.

• Attach the belly cutout on the bottom part of the body cutout.

• Attach the head cutout on the top side of the body pattern.

• Apply glue on the side of the body part, only on the edge where you’d like to attach the upper legs.

• Attach the upper legs on both sides of the body part. Trip the extra outer parts of the upper legs and align their edges with the body.

• Attach the lower legs on both sides of the body part, near the bottom side.

• Slide the heart cutout under the upper legs. Cut out a piece of cardstock paper, big enough to fit the frog, and add a frog Valentine’s Day pun. Attach the papercraft frog on the cardstock paper and add a pun of your choice.

Tips and Tricks

• Try using different shades of green paper to make a whole family of frogs to hand out for Valentine’s Day!
• Use colored pencils or markers to add little details or decorations to the hearts your frogs are holding!
• Try printing out some larger and some smaller so you can give out different sized frogs to teachers or other adults!

More Frog Ideas…

Amphibians are such interesting creatures! After making this papercraft see if there is a book at your local library to learn more about the various kinds of amphibians that inhabit the world around us. One of our favorite books in our home is Once Upon a Lily Pad, but for a more serious look at our amphibious friends, you can also check out Tadpole to Frog and Fabulous Frogs. 

Try making some other underwater paper crafts, like our Papercraft Octopus, to have a whole underwater scene to play in!

As a fun bonus, activity watch a fun family movie and see if there are any amphibious creatures in it, bonus points if there are multi frogs hopping through it! For a Disney movie night, you could tune into Princess and the Frog or go for the more classic adventure that is Frog and Toad.
