Make a Puddle the Frog Picture Frame

A gentle DIY craft for little ones and grown-ups

If your child loves Puddle the frog, this sweet cardboard picture frame is the perfect way to bring a little pond magic into your home.

It’s a simple project designed for kids aged 2–5 (with a grown-up’s help), and it’s perfect for rainy afternoons, slow weekends, or a thoughtful handmade gift.

Frame a photo, a drawing, or a special note - and let Puddle watch over it with his big smile and even bigger heart 💛

  • Scissors

  • Pencil and markers

  • Brushes & acrylic paint

  • Vinyl glue
