Common Mistakes & How To Avoid Them

• Uneven folds – Take your time lining up corners before creasing.
• Paper too thick – Stick to thinner sheets for easier folding and cleaner lines.

• Classic green – Stick with frog green for a familiar look.
• Bright colors – Let kids choose their favorite colors or mix things up.
• Patterned paper – Spots, leaves, or geometric designs can mimic frog textures.
• Funny faces – Make silly or sleepy frogs with different facial expressions.
• Themed frogs – Dress your frog up for Christmas (add a hat), Valentine’s (add hearts), or Easter (add bunny ears!).
