Paper & Card

Download Activity Template

Step 1Download and print the template provided. We recommend printing onto cover paper for a sturdier project.
Step 2Colour in your frog template pieces using your favourite decorating materials, such as pencils or markers. Don’t forget to decorate the tongue!
Step 3Cut out around the outer, solid grey lines of both template pieces. Adult supervision is recommended when using scissors.
Step 4Mountain fold your frog template in half along the fold line. Cut along the solid grey line of the frog’s mouth to create a slit.
Step 5Fold the triangular flaps outwards along the fold lines, then unfold. Flip over your paper to fold the triangle flaps back the other way, then unfold.
Step 6Unfold your paper and flip it over to the undecorated side. Push the triangular flaps inwards to make a laughing mouth shape. Flip again so your design is facing up and valley fold to close the card and strengthen the creases.
Step 7Fold your red paper in half lengthwise to create a crease, then unfold. Apply glue to the back edges of your template and secure to the middle of the red paper, aligning the creases. Allow to dry.
Step 8Cut the red paper around your frog. Glue the tongue to the inside of the mouth. Allow to dry.
Roll the tongue template piece around a pencil to create a curved effect!
Step 9Your Frog Card is now ready to start laughing! Open and close the card to see your frog giggle.
