 Set Up:

• Each student will receive a piece of construction paper, a pencil, a set of wiggly eyes, a Sharpie Marker and scissors.
• Equip each table with a variety of water-based markers and frog stencils, and a couple of glue sticks.

Class Discussion:

• Begin your class with a brief discussion about Line – how line creates form/shape, pattern and texture in a piece of artwork and in nature. Share the Fun Facts about Frogs information with your students.

Project Time:

• Instruct your students to select a frog template to trace with their pencil.
• Once traced, outline it with a Black Sharpie Marker.
• Fill in the frog’s body with a variety of lines and patterns using markers. Stress that their frogs will look more interesting and fun if they use a variety of lines/patterns – as well as colors.
• Once their frogs have been filled in, instruct students to cut out their frogs.
• Finally, have students glue a set of wiggly eyes on their frogs.
