I showed the puppet to a couple people and they thought it looked like a frog. So I hope whoever makes one think it looks like a frog too.

Please send me a pm if you find any errors.

Enjoy!!!

Note: I would not recommend making the frog Finger Puppet for a baby or a child still putting things in its mouth. As it is pretty tiny and could be a choking hazard.

Thank you, thank you, thank you! I was looking for a small, quick to make frog and you did it! I have made one all ready and he is so cute!

 

Our local hospital auxiliary holds a big christams boutique each year. I am in charge of stuff for the kids room. It is called the kids room, but it usually turns out to be the baby's room. I have been trying to make other things for young kids. I have other frog patterns, but I wanted something samll. I am crocheting the bottom closed and stuffing them. So, again, thank you!
