3. How to fold the paper: 

First, fold the top of the paper all the way down.

Then, fold the top piece of paper back up so that now you should only see the frog with the mouth closed. The mouth should be lined up like this:

The second fold should be the opposite way as the first fold, like an accordion.

4. Cut out a small strip of red cardstock.

Wrap the end of the strip around a pencil to make the paper curl.

Glue inside the frog’s mouth. You can also draw the tongue on with a black marker and color around it.

Add a message inside the area where the mouth is if you want to add a surprise message.

Now your special surprise frog is finished and ready to show off to a friend or family member!

Or, give it as a card with a special surprise message inside!
