Make a Fun Handprint and Footprint Tissue Paper Frog
Does your child love frogs? My son and daughter both enjoy catching them every summer at our families camp. My son worked with me to create this cute handprint and footprint tissue paper frog. It came out really cute and was easy and fun for my son to make.

My son enjoyed making this frog and showing it off to his dad as soon as he came down from work. I think most kids would love to create one of these frogs.
