This month Natalie Webb is showing us how to make a frog with a blow out tongue
“This cheeky frog is always poking out his tongue!”
Materials:
• Green card
• Black and white paper or card
• A straw
• Red tissue paper
• Sticky tape
• Glue
• Scissors
• Marker
• Pencil
Draw a circle on the green card, approx 13cm diameter. Fold in half and cut a little hole in the middle of the fold.
For the frog’s eyes cut out two green circles, two smaller black circles and two even smaller white circles. Layer the circles from small to big, then stick on to the fold of your green semi circle, half on the card and half sticking out above.
From the rest of your green card cut out two frog’s legs and stick these inside your semi circle so that they are poking out the bottom.
Cut out two strips of tissue paper approx 4cm x 18cm then glue the strips together along three sides, leaving the top open. When the glue is dry poke the straw into the top end until it is about 8cm down.
Push the straw up inside the frog, so that it comes out through the hole at the top.
Tape
everything down inside, placing your sticky tape over the straw and the top of the tissue paper tongue so that there are no gaps.
Decorate your frog’s body with a marker, then roll up his tongue before blowing through the straw. The tongue should uncurl and stick out!
