Clay frogs are a popular project for both kids and adults alike. They’re simple to make and can be as detailed or as simple as you like. Plus they make great gifts and decorations! In this blog post we’ll show you how to make your own clay frog step by step.
First you’ll need some supplies. For this project you’ll need clay a sharp knife a rolling pin a paintbrush and some paint. You can use any type of clay you like but we recommend using oven-bake clay for this project. It’s easy to work with and doesn’t require any special tools or firing.
Once you have your supplies it’s time to get started! Begin by rolling out your clay on a flat surface. If you’re using oven-bake clay you’ll want to roll it out to about 1/4 inch thick. Use your knife to cut out a basic frog shape. You can make your frog as big or as small as you like.
Next it’s time to start adding details. Use your knife to add texture to the frog’s skin and use the rolling pin to make indentations for the eyes. Once you’re happy with the way your frog looks use your paintbrush to add paint. You can paint your frog any color you like. We recommend using green but feel free to get creative!
Once your paint is dry your frog is ready to display! Place him on a shelf in a windowsill or anywhere else you like. He’s sure to bring a smile to everyone who sees him.
