- One of Ø 5 cm
Tip: Place a cutting board under the sheet to avoid damaging the table.
Step 4:
On a sheet of colored paper, glue:
For the large frog, the two circles of Ø 4.5 cm to form the eyes, the folded circle of Ø 15 cm to make the mouth, and the circle of Ø 6.5 cm to make the body.
For the small frog, the two circles of Ø 3.5 cm to form the eyes, the folded circle of Ø 12 cm to make the mouth, and the circle of Ø 5 cm to make the body.
Step 5:
Cut out two circles from a sheet of red paper:

Step 9:
From a red sheet of paper, cut out:

I love it! Simple and beautiful! My daughter is thrilled and won't let go of her frogs! Maybe you could just indicate how long it takes to make each tutorial (approximately, of course!) But you are great, wonderful site and very affordable products.
J'adore ! Simple et beau ! Ma fille est aux anges et ne lâche plus ses grenouilles ! Peut-être pourriez vous juste marquer combien de temps il faut pour les fabrication de chaque tutos (environ bien sûr !) Mais vous êtes super, magnifique site et produits très abordables.
