Toads are fascinating creatures known for their unique appearance and enchanting sounds. If you’re looking for a fun and engaging craft project that celebrates these amphibians, making a paper toad is the perfect choice. Whether you’re a nature enthusiast, an origami lover, or simply want to explore your creative side, this DIY activity is sure to bring joy.
You can put a toad on a shelf, make a lamp (put an artificial candle in your mouth), or even create a collection of paper frogs for a vibrant and whimsical display. Alternatively, you can use your paper frog for storytelling, imaginative play, or as a decoration for a themed event.
PDF template of Toad for paper or cardboard assembly. The digital PDF template is ready for printing. To assemble the model, you need to print this file on thick A4/Letter paper or cardboard.
There are two ways to reduce the size of the Toad when printing:
1) Decrease the percentage from 100% to what you need.
2) Or choose to print two pages on one sheet – then you will get half the size of the model: 5 cm / 2″.
Note: A small model is more difficult to assemble.
To increase the Toad:
1) Print the template in A3 (140%), A2 (200%), A1 (280%), and A0 (400%) format. A4 format is the default size of 100%. Read more here in the instructions.
