Tree Frog Craft

7/8/2014

0 Comments

 
Picture
Supplies Needed; Template, crayons, water colors, scissors, glue, and brown construction paper

Directions;
Using crayons, draw colored circles on frog template to resemble tree frogs like the ones pictured above. After drawing circles, use your water colors to paint your frog. The water color paint will not stick to the crayon because of the wax, and will bead up. Allow the water color to dry, then cut out your frog. Before gluing your frog to the paper, bend the frogs legs at the shoulder/hip and ankle/wrist locations. this will make it possible for your frog to "stand" off of the paper creating a 3d effect.

In the spring frogs sing their songs along pond, rivers, and lakes. 

Here is an art project that you can add to throughout the frog’s life cycle. 
Materials needed:
  • 5 ft. of poster paper
  • blue finger paint
  • green Easter basket grass
  • green, brown, and grey construction paper
  • scissors
  • glue
  • wiggly eyes

 Take pictures of the children doing the different activities.

Step one Day 1: Spread the poster paper out on the floor or a long table. Put blue finger paint in small dabs around the paper. Let the children finger paint and cover the whole paper.

Step two Day 2: Lay out the dried poster paper. Give the children glue and green Easter basket grass. Let them attach the grass in any fashion.

Step three Day 3: Have the children make a frog. When dry let them attach the frog anywhere they like on the paper.

Step four Day 4: Have the children put tadpoles on the paper.

Step five Day 5: Have the children create tadpoles with tales (essentially little frogs with tales), when dry let them place them on the poster paper.

Post the completed project on the wall. Add pictures of frogs in different stages along the outside of the poster paper. Add picture of the children you took during the process.

Directions: Pick which insects, and other pond dwellers you would like to use.
 
Option 1: Print out pictures of these creatures and attach to pipe cleaners or tongue depressors.
 
Option 2: Make paper bag puppets of the creatures. 

Instructions: After the children have their puppets, bring them to a table or circle. Tell the children they are going to help you tell a story about Loud Mouth Frog and his friends. Make sure each child has a puppet.

Start with child number one and ask one of these questions.
  1. What is your creature going to do?
  2. When is your creature going to go?
  3. Who is your creature going to meet?
  4. What will your creature do next?

Let the children tell their story and write it down on the poster paper. This connects their thoughts to the written word.

Extension: Have the children draw a picture of the story they just told. Type up the story and attach it to the back of each child’s picture.
