How To Make Your Jar Lid Croaking Frog Craft

We made this croaking frog craft using two different methods. In the photo above the frog toy on the left is made with a tissue paper covering and the frog toy on the right has a painted finish. Both methods work well but the paint can scratch off after a while.Taping jar lids to make a croaking frog craft.

Tape the two popping jar lids together with masking tape. Don’t use plastic sticky tape because you won’t be able to paint over or cover it easily.Cutting craft spoons to make a croaking frog craft.

Cut the handles off your wooden craft spoons to make the frog’s eyes. A little hacksaw or bread knife works well. You don’t need to cut all the way through. Just make a little notch on either side and then you can simply snap it.Gluing eyes onto a croaking frog craft.
