Paint the rock green. Using a white “permanent” chalk marker add two lines down the frogs back. We also used the white chalk marker to color the under side of the head to give the rock more frog “characteristics”.

Add spots to the frog using the black Sharpie®. We did not make them perfect circles. They were randomly placed and oddly shaped.

Using the tip of the paint brush, add a small dot of yellow or red (any bright color you want) to the black spots. This will add some color to your froggie! Glue on the googly eyes.
