Ingredients

2 slices sandwich bread, white, wheat or your favorite
Favorite sandwich filling, such as cream cheese, ham and cheese, egg salad, or peanut butter and jelly
1 cucumber, sliced into rounds and sticks
1 small red bell pepper
1-2 black olives, sliced into rounds
Small amount of cream cheese, if needed for attaching the eyes

Directions

Make a sandwich with your favorite filling and place it on a plate.
Arrange thin cucumber sticks along each side of the sandwich to look like long frog legs.
Cut two thick cucumber rounds for the frog's eyes.
Place one black olive slice on each cucumber round to make the pupils.
Place the cucumber eyes along the top edge of the sandwich. Use a small dab of cream cheese to help hold them in place if needed.
Cut a curved strip of red bell pepper and place it on top of the sandwich to make a big frog smile.

Kids Can Help: Set out the prepared cucumber, olives and pepper and let kids build their own frog faces. An adult can handle slicing the vegetables as needed.

Frog Pond Plate: Serve the sandwich on lettuce "lily pads." Add grape tomatoes, baby carrots or other colorful vegetables around the plate as pretend bugs for the frog to catch.

Frog Cupcakes

Individual frog cupcakes are an easy dessert for a frog theme dinner or party because each child gets their own frog face.

Green frog face cupcakes with candy eyes

Easy Decorating Idea: Frost prepared cupcakes green, then add candy eyes or marshmallow eyes. Use frosting, candy or small fruit pieces to create the mouth and other frog features.

Kids Can Decorate: Set out green frosting and several edible decorations and let each child create a different frog expression.

Frog Face Cake

A round cake and two cupcakes can be turned into one large frog face for the center of a dessert table.

How to Build It: Frost a round cake green for the frog's head. Place two cupcakes above the cake for the eyes, frost them white and add dark cookies, candy or frosting for the pupils. Finish with a large smiling mouth on the round cake.

Easy Shortcut: Start with a prepared round cake and cupcakes if you want the decorating activity without baking everything from scratch.
