Popsicle Stick Green Frog
Inspired by the children’s book It’s Mine by Leo Lionni, today I present to YOU our super fun Popsicle Stick Frog craft idea!
“Three selfish frogs live together on an island in the middle of Rainbow Pond. All day long they bicker: It’s mine! It’s mine! It’s mine! But a bad storm and a big brown toad help them realize that sharing is much more fun. With characteristic clarity, simplicity and exuberance, Leo Lionni makes it possible for kids to see themselves through the antics of others who share our world.”
This cute frog made from popsicle sticks craft is super easy to make within minutes and it’s relatively inexpensive to recreate! All it involves is a little bit of cutting and gluing. Basic stuff!
So let’s HOP to it! Check out the FULL tutorial below and get to work on creating this adorable craft stick green frog craft today.
