Tree Frog Craft

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.

Barn Yard: Fine Motor Frog

10/18/2013

Fine motor skills are important to a child’s development. In this exercise children practice the pinching motion.

Included at the bottom of this post is an instruction sheet on how to make “Pincher Critters” which can easily be decorated to look like any type of bird or amphibian.

The Pincher Critter in this example was decorated as a frog. The instructions were to help Mr. Frog bring bugs back to his lily pad for lunch. The lily pad was just a green circle and the bugs were fluff balls/pom poms. This exercise can also be adapted to be a chicken bringing worms to her nest, using a brown bowl or circle of paper for the nest and pipe cleaners for worms.

To print the instructions, "How to Pincher Critters" save in your pictures and print as a JPEG.
