Croak, hop, and spin! A fun collection of frog craft ideas

20 years of experience as a nursery teacher / kindergarten teacherhiyoko sensei
I’m Hiyoko-sensei, a former nursery school teacher from Hyogo Prefecture. Ever since I was five, my dream was to become a childcare worker, and before I knew it, 20 years had passed since I achieved that dream. Through singing and playing with the children, I kept working with the spirit of someone in their twenties, even as I increasingly felt my physical limits year by year (haha). From here on, I’d like to share helpful information carefully and thoughtfully, drawing on my on-site experience.

Frogs that pop up during the rainy season or when it rains.

The frogs we often see are mostly green or brown, but if you look into it, you’ll find that around the world there are many colorful frogs and frogs with cute patterns.

It’s also fun to deepen children’s interest in frogs through making crafts.

We’re introducing projects that use recycled materials like milk cartons and toilet paper rolls, as well as unique crafts that let you hear frog calls.

Please use these as a reference and give them a try!

Because items made by children are treated as works of art, we use the term “seisaku” (production) in the text.

Frog craft for making mini plastic bottles

We’ll show you how to make a cute little frog using a mini plastic bottle—the size and shape are adorable.

First, cut a sheet of origami paper to match the height of the bottle, roll it up, and insert it into the bottle.

Use a straw or similar tool to unfurl the rolled paper inside the bottle, then screw the cap on.

Next, stick round stickers onto 2.5 cm green pom-poms to make the eyes.

Turn the bottle upside down and attach the frog’s eyes with double-sided tape to both ends of the bottom.

Do the same for the hands and feet using pom-poms.

Finally, add the frog’s mouth with a sticker, and you’re done.

Try making lots of frogs in different colors and display them!

In conclusion

This time, we introduced various frog crafts. Making them is of course fun, but it’s even more enjoyable when you can play with what you’ve made—like hearing the ribbit-ribbit of frogs or watching them spin around! Besides green frogs, you can make super cute, colorful frogs in pink or yellow, so be sure to make some and have fun playing with them!
