Five Green and Speckled Frogs

I made five green and speckled frogs for our classroom. We found a nifty felt board that wasn't being used, so I figured it was time to get crafty. I busted out with my felt, scissors, and glue gun and here's the end result:

The children enjoy having a visual aid for some of our songs and stories.  It helps them engage more during circle time. I didn't use any patterns for my frogs, log, or pool of water. I like Henri Matisse's concept of "drawing with scissors" which allows me to cut free form. Pencils and patterns are overrated sometimes. All you really need is an active imagination and some scissors.
