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.
