3 Fun Activities to Do with a Frog Drawing
After you draw your cute frog, the following activities can bring it to life!
Make a Froggy Greeting Card
Turn your frog drawing into a cheerful greeting card!
Fold a piece of cardstock or construction paper in half, then glue or redraw your frog on the front.
Add fun decorations like hearts, flowers, or lily pads around it. Inside, write a message like “Hoppy Birthday!” or “You Make Me Jump for Joy!” and give it to a friend or family member to brighten their day.
Create a Frog Puppet
Bring your frog to life as a puppet!
Color and cut out your frog drawing, then tape or glue it to a popsicle stick, straw, or folded paper strip.
Add fun features like googly eyes, a red paper tongue, or a tiny fly drawn nearby. Now you have a cute frog puppet that can leap into stories, games, or even a mini puppet show!
Make a Froggy Bookmark
Use your drawing to make a fun frog-themed bookmark.
Cut your frog into a rectangle shape or draw a new frog stretched out tall. Decorate the background with lily pads, bugs, or water ripples, then laminate it or cover it in clear tape to keep it strong.
Use it to keep your place in your favorite book while adding a touch of froggy fun to reading time!
Your frog drawing can turn into all kinds of creative and playful projects! Whether you’re sending it to someone special, putting on a puppet show, or hopping into your next book with a handmade bookmark, these ideas will help your art leap off the page and into your everyday fun.

The step-by-step instructions and many of the drawing ideas on Cute Things to Draw include dashed lines running through the center of the page, both horizontally and vertically. By drawing their own center lines on blank paper before starting, learning artists have helpful guides to follow as they draw.
Getting the right size and placement of lines on the page provides visual reference points that help improve accuracy. To create these guides on their own page, students can simply fold their paper in half both vertically and horizontally, slight crease it, then unfold. The best part is that once the drawing is finished and colored, the creases will no longer be noticeable.
Let’s start drawing cute frogs!
Drawing a cute frog is a fun and bouncy way to jump into creativity!
- Start by making a big circle or oval for the body, then add a smaller circle on top for the head.
- Draw two big eyes that pop up at the top—frogs always look extra cute with wide, curious eyes.
- Add a happy smile, two chubby legs, and little webbed feet to complete the look.
You can even place your frog on a lily pad, give it a tiny crown, or draw it mid-hop for extra personality—there’s no wrong way to draw a frog that makes you smile!
