Steps:
1

- Put glue on the edge of the legs.
- Glue all four legs in place on the back of the painted side of the bag.
6
- Use scrap pieces of construction paper to add details to your frog.
- Use contrasting colours so the details will stand out.
- Cut out a circle a little bigger than the frog's eyes.
- Cut the circle in half to make two semi-circles for the eyelids.
- Try to make both eyelids equal.
- Glue the semi-circles on top of the eyes to make eyelids.
