Clay Pot Frog
Make this cute frog using a terra cotta clay pot and a few other supplies.


Materials Needed:
  • 2 inch Terra Cotta Clay Pot
  • 1 1/2 inch Wooden Ball Head
  • 2 - 1/2 inch Green Pom-poms
  • Green Fun Foam (optional)
  • Wiggle Eyes
  • Paint
  • Clear Acrylic Sealer Spray
  • Glue (hot glue gun preferred)
Instructions:
Wipe down your terra cotta pot with a damp cloth and let dry completely.

Paint the clay pot and the wooden ball head green. Put them aside to dry.

Once the paint is dry, glue the wooden ball onto the bottom of the clay pot (figure 1). Paint a mouth on the wooden ball (figure 2) - You can also add two small nose holes if you like. Once all your paint is dry, spray it with the clear acrylic sealer. Glue the two pom-poms into place for the eyes, and then glue on the two wiggle eyes (figure 3).

   

This part is optional! Cut two feet out of fun foam (figure 4), and glue them onto the bottom edge of the clay pot. Paint a thin black line to represent the legs. Your frog is now complete.
