Crafting Your Cucumber Frog: Creating a cucumber frog is a fun and straightforward process that requires minimal ingredients and equipment. Start with a fresh cucumber as the base for your frog’s body. Cut the cucumber into sections to form the body and legs of the frog, and use toothpicks or small sticks to secure the pieces together. Additional cucumbers or cherry tomatoes can be used to create eyes, while thin slices of carrots or red peppers can serve as tongues. With a few creative touches and a bit of imagination, you can bring your cucumber frog to life in no time.

DIY cucumber frog, step-by-step instruction

1. From the nose of the cucumber, diagonally, cut an oval for the frog’s body. From the tail of the vegetable, cut two smaller ovals for the hind legs. From the remaining green parts of the cucumber, we cut strips for the elongated feet and front legs. We will also need a small thin oval for the lower jaw and two small semicircles for the eyes.1

2. We form the head on the body. Cut out fingers from strips. We divide both ovals for the paws into two parts, resulting in “legs” bent at the knees.

3. We fasten the parts of the frog with matches or toothpicks. Matches are more convenient, not so smooth, and the connected parts stick together better. We make the eyes from match heads.
