1.
The Head. Take out about 1/ 6 of a 60 gm pack of Neon
Green clay, wrap up the remaining clay and place in an
airtight container for future use. Using your hands, roll
a piece of Neon Green clay into a ball (roughly 2cm diameter)
to form the frog's head.
Then shape two smaller balls (approx. 8mm diameter) of
the White clay. Add a small amount of glue and gently
press onto the head to form the eyes. Using the appropriate
tool from the Makin's Brand Clay Tool Set, draw a curved
line in the clay below the eyes to form a smiley mouth
as shown.

2.
Roll
2 small balls of Neon Green clay (12mm(W), 12mm(H) and
7mm thick). Flatten and shape clay into simple hand or
'mitten' shapes as you see in the picture. Place some
glue onto the end of a 25mm length of pipe-cleaner, and
insert into the end of the mitten-shaped clay as you see
in the picture. Do this once more so that you have two
'hands'.
Follow the same procedure for the two feet, rolling two more small balls of clay (10mm (W), 14mm(H) and 10mm thick) and making them into oval 'egg' shapes. Then attach to one end of a 25mm length of pipe cleaner /chenille stem with a little glue to form the leg.
Leave these to dry while you make a start on the body.

3.
Once again, take about 1/6 of a 60gm pack of Neon Green
clay. Shape a roll 18mm (W), 22mm (H) & 10mm thick
for the body to make a kind of 'barrel' shape. On the
front of the body, make 3 shallow, round marks to look
like 'buttons', using the appropriate tool from the
Makin's Brand Clay Tool Set as you see in the picture.
Make a total of four deep holes (one on each side, top
and bottom) for the 'arms' and 'legs'. Insert the pipe-cleaners
/chenille stem (attached to the hands and feet) into
the four holes, adding some glue to hold the 'arms'
and 'legs' in place. Insert the pencil at the bottom
of the body to make a hole for it.

Attach the head and body with a dollop of white glue.
Draw a black dot on each of the white eyeballs using the
black pen. |
 |
| Final.
Place the frog onto the top of the pencil. Leave it to
dry overnight. |
