Basecoat the styrofoam balls with light green acrylic craft paint. Let the paint dry and then apply a second coat, if necessary.
Attach a wiggle eye to the flat side of each of the foam balls with a glue gun and glue sticks. Glue the frog’s eyes onto the top, front of the clay pot.

Download, print and cut out Clay Pot Frog Patterns. Cut out two frog feet from light green craft felt.
Attach to the front bottom edge of the clay pot using a glue gun and glue sticks.

Add polka dot cheeks by dipping a new pencil eraser into pink acrylic craft paint. Set aside to dry. Draw two small circles for a nose and a smile from cheek to cheek using a black permanent marker.
Randomly cut out six circles from light green craft felt. Attach to the right and left side of the frog using a glue gun and glue sticks.
