Springtime frogs for Pesach

0 Flares 0 Flares ×

In anticipation of the Jewish holiday of Passover, Curly Orli and I are making cute froggies. It is true that frogs were one of the Ten Plagues, but frogs are also believed to be the bringers of spring! These days, they are happily hopping around in parks and forests after a long winter slumber. Now, you can have one of them at home … a Plasticine one, that is.

Steps 1-4 of making a Passover froggie.
Steps 1-4 of making a Passover Plasticine froggie.

1. Prepare green Plasticine. Separate it into pieces for different body parts: eyes, head, torso and two pairs of legs.

2. Using white and blue Plasticine, make eyes. With the help of a toothpick, make a nose by poking two holes, then a mouth and, finally, add a red tongue.

3. From earlier prepared pieces, let’s make a lower part of the body and legs. Attach them together.

4. Connect upper and lower body. The froggy is ready!!!

Steps 5-7: making a flower for our Passover Plasticine froggie.

5-6. Our froggy is festive and joyous, so let’s give him a beautiful flower. We can make petals from various small and round colorful Plasticine pieces by making them pointy at the end.

7. Let’s add petals to the flower and connect them to the stem.

8. Now, we will give this flower to the froggy. Our creation is complete.

Happy Passover to all the readers of the Jewish Independent! We wish you peace, joy and new creative adventures.
