Project Instructions
-
1Project time does not include drying time for neither the paint nor the glue.
Note: to ensure adequate drying time, the frog part of the project should be made several days in advance of when it is needed. -
2Open and flatten the cereal box.
-
3Fold a rectangular piece of the cereal box in half so long ends meet to make a center line. Unfold. Fold the cardboard so short ends meet.
-
4Cut the frog's mouth by cutting into the fold along the center line. Cut about 2/3 of the way to the edges of the folded cardboard. Unfold cardboard. Cut two small rectangles of recycled cardboard (for frog eyes) and fold them in half.
-
5Spread newspaper over your workspace. Paint the larger cardboard Green. Paint the smaller rectangles to look like a frog's eyes. Let dry.
-
6Mix a little Brown paint into some Green paint to create a darker Green. Make several dots on the frog with this new color. Let dry.
-
7To assemble the frog, slightly bend the cardboard at the middle line so the mouth pops open. Staple the fold at each side of the cardboard, attaching a piece of ribbon at each staple location. Tie ribbons together to keep sides bent back so the frog stands. Glue a long piece of Red construction paper inside of the open mouth so that it extends in front of the frog. Glue the eyes to the frog. Let dry.

8At the party, use markers to decorate coffee filter bugs. Fold filters into quarters, then hold markers in one spot until the dye seeps through the filter layers.
-
9Gather the coffee filter in the middle and tie with a ribbon to make bugs to feed the frog. Take turns tossing the bugs onto the frog's tongue.
