Six steps to a frog

New lines are purple. Lines you already drew turn light.

1

Start with the body

Draw a big wide oval. Wobbly is fine — wobbly ovals make friendly frogs.

2

Two bumps on top

Two round bumps on top of the oval. Start and end each one on the oval's edge.

3

Give it a face

A big dot inside each bump, two little nose holes, and a wide grin.

4

Two back legs

A fat bent leg low down on each side, with three little toes under each one. Both ends of the leg touch the body.

5

Two front legs

Two short legs under the body, each one ending in three little toes.

6

Finishing touches

Two spots on its tummy, and one little fly going past. Now this frog is yours.

Go further

Now draw a frog that lives somewhere frogs never live.
