In addition to reading frog books, singing frog songs, and doing frog activity sheets, I’m planning to make a few frog snacks to celebrate Leap Day today.
As usual, Pinterest had a wealth of ideas to choose from, like these little grape frogs from Kara’s Party Ideas. They’re simple and sweet.
Or these green apple frogs that were featured on Babble:
Or how about scooping a heaping helping of fruit salad out of this watermelon frog? You can find complete cutting instructions at Glamourita.com
If your crew cannot eat that much fruit salad in one day, you may want to try this smaller cantaloupe frog, courtesy of Cookpad:
Continuing with the healthy snack theme, how about these bell pepper frogs? The instructions at Homestead Survival call for grilling them, but I think my kids would prefer eating them raw. We love bell peppers — especially when they’re cold and crisp!
For more substantial fare, try a frog sandwich, like these from Mark Northeast:
Or this one from Little Food Junction. Doesn’t it look yummy?
And for dessert, we have all kinds of choices. You could serve these froggy cookies from CandiQuik…
… or these ice cream frogs from Dryer’s. Eat ’em fast, before they melt!
And if you are really crafty, you can whip up a batch of cute cupcakes. I couldn’t find instructions for these, but if you’ve worked with fondant before, it should be pretty easy to duplicate the design by looking at this picture from Flickr:
So those are my favorite froggie treats. For more fun food ideas, follow me on Pinterest. And, again, we wish you the “hoppiest” of Leap Days!
