This frog starts with a wide head that already has two bumps on top for the eyes, so the shape does a lot of the work. The long arms and big back legs come later. It is a cheerful drawing that children love to make as goofy as possible.

Make it your own

Add a lily pad to sit on, a pond with wavy ripples, or a fly buzzing just out of reach. A long tongue mid-catch and a few splashes make the scene really funny.
