Two big bulgy eyes on top, chubby cheeks, and a grin as wide as a lily pad – this printable frog mask gets every kid croaking. Color it, cut it out, add elastic, and a happy frog is hopping around your living room. This free frog mask template is a hit for animal birthdays, spring, and preschool crafts.
Why This Frog Mask Is So Silly
The two bulgy eye bumps sit right on top of the head, just like a real frog's, giving the mask its fun shape. The wide smile stretches across almost the whole face and is easy to trace. Round cheeks are perfect for dots or rosy blush. And because the shape is so compact, it's a great pick for the youngest crafters.

Play Ideas for Little Frogs
Lay out pillows or carpet squares as lily pads and let the frogs hop from pad to pad without falling in the pond. For Catch the Fly, kids shoot out their arms like a long, sticky frog tongue and grab paper flies. Act out The Frog Prince with a golden ball made of foil. And of course, finish with a big, loud ribbit chorus!
Fun Facts About Frogs
Frogs start life as tadpoles in the water, with a tail for swimming and no legs at all. Little by little, legs grow and the tail disappears until the tadpole becomes a frog. Frogs catch bugs with their long, sticky tongues. When they swallow, they actually pull their eyes down into their heads to help push the food along. That loud croaking usually comes from males, who puff up throat pouches called vocal sacs.
Color Ideas for Your Frog Mask
Green is classic, but frogs can be super colorful too:
Bright lime green with a pale chin.
Electric blue or red with black spots – some real frogs look like this.
Green with a golden crown drawn on the forehead.
Green with colorful dots on the cheeks.
