Frog Craft Toilet Paper Roll
You will need:
- Toilet paper roll
- Red craft foam/felt
- Green craft paint
- Googly eyes
- Pipe cleaner
- Hot Glue
- Paintbrushes
Paint the toilet paper roll green all over, set aside and allow to dry.
While you are waiting for the paint to dry, cut your pipe cleaner into 4 equal pieces.
Bend into the shape of legs for the frog.
Next, hot glue a medium sized pom pom to one end of a string 12” to 24” long.
Add more hot glue than is necessary to add some weight to the “fly” .
This helps make it easier to get in the “cup”.
Cut a tongue for your frog from craft foam or felt about 2”-3” long.
Once paint has dried, flatten one end of the tube and use hot glue to close it. Hold in place until glue has set.
Glue each of the legs into place.
Hot glue on googly eyes and glue the tongue inside the open mouth.
Finally, you will hot glue the string inside the mouth with the pompom on the opposite end.
To play:
Hold the cup in one hand and the ball in the other hand.
Swing the ball around the cup in a circle, keeping the string taut.
Try to catch the ball in the cup by flipping it upward while holding the mouth upright.
Practice makes perfect!
