Making a Pet Frog from a Toilet Paper Tube - closeup of finished frogDoes your child want a pet frog? This can be a temporary replacement with no responsibilities attached.

This paper pet frog is made with a toilet paper tube and construction paper. I used circle dots as "food" for the frog and your child can feed the frog and repeat the process.
