Supplies
- 1 printer (if you don't have one, you can draw)
- 1 A4 paper with the head of your choice printed
- 1 paper of 270gr (something thicker than simple paper, but not as thick as cardboard to be cut easily)
- 1 scissors
- 1 pencil
- glue
- scotch tape (option to solidify)
The Head
- Download the jpg image
- Print in color on an A4 sheet of paper
If you don't have a printer, you can draw an animal with its mouth open on an A4 sheet of paper.
- Cut out the white outline of the head and the location of the mouth.
Preparation of the Support Cardboard
- Place the animal's head on the cardboard.
- Draw the location of the mouth, a vertical rectangle under the head, and the circumference of the head.
- Cut the bottom rectangle precisely, the mouth by cutting outside the line, the contour by cutting inside the line.
Assembly
- Put glue on the backing paper, at the location of the head.
- Place the head on top, and press.
Folding
- Make a fold at the top of the rectangle to fold the paper.
- Then make a second fold 4cm from the first, to reach the head.
Bonus: If the whole thing is not stable enough, you can add tape between the folded backing paper and the head to consolidate it.
Have Fun!
Your targets are now ready, all you have to do is send your frogs there.
