Ribbit!

Check out these cute little froggies we made this week.  It was our turn to make a project for our local nursing home, so since we have been studying life cycles and oviparous animals, these cute little guys fit right in.  We started with 12 X 18 construction paper, and then trimmed it to a 12 X 12 piece and a 6 X 12 piece.  The 12 X 12 piece gets cut into a circle, and the 6 X 12 piece is used to trace the kids' hands.  The hands become the feet of the frog.  Next, we used a white oval and a slightly smaller black circle for his eyes.  Finally, we cut  2 X 12 inch strips of red for the tongue.  It worked great to roll it on a pencil to make it curly.  The kiddos put the froggies together, added a nose and a mouth, then added cute messages for our friends at the nursing home.  They were super simple to make, and the class enjoyed making them!  Thanks to my awesome teammate Mary Brown for the idea!
