Small frog is made from a single printed page and ideal for sweets,
little coloring pencils or other small items. Bigger frog (who is older
and so slightly darker green...) is made from 2 sheets of paper and can
hold small picture books or notebooks, various combinations of small and
bigger items. They are easy to make and children will find them
delightful. They will keep the bag to store things and as a toy.
You could also use it as a little bag wrapping for a birthday present.

How to make the frog party favor bag:
1. Score all dotted lines with an empty ball-point pen. I am using a 'bone-folder' in this picture which does the same job.
2. Using a craft knife (adults only) cut through the 2 solid lines to make the slots for the eyes.
3. Fold all dotted lines well and firmly, especially the mouth flap, before you start gluing. To glue the bag side, press down with a flat object like a ruler to help securing.
4. Glue the bottom flap and press both sides to secure well. The square flaps fold in first, then the triangle ones with glue on.
5. Pinch the sides firmly as in the picture.
6. Put both frog eyes through the slits.
The big frog favor bag is the same, you just need to glue the 2 sheets together to start with.
