Prince Charming Frog Puppet
Design by Georgia Peschel

Materials and Tools:

• One Loose tea hinged spoon (available at grocery, dollar, hardware stores)
• 1/4 block of Emerald Green Sculpey III #323
• 1/4 block of Red Sculpey III #083
• 1/4 block of Lime Green Sculpey III #521
• 1/4 block of Yellow Sculpey III #072
• 1/4 block of White Sculpey III #001
• 1/4 block of Black Sculpey III #042
• tool for making nostrils

Directions:

• Divide Emerald green Sculpey III in to 2 balls with a little remaining for two nostrils. Cover top of spoon with clay and make sure you push hard so that some of the clay comes through the tiny holes.

• Cover bottom of spoon with other ball of emerald green Sculpey III.

• Make two smaller balls out of the Lime green Sculpey III and add them to the top of the head for eyes

• At this point I placed a piece of cardboard in the frogs mouth to keep it from sticking closed while I work on it. Add yellow Sculpey III to the eyes.

• Add black Sculpey III to the eyes

• Add white Sculpey III dots to the eyes.

• Add lime green Sculpey III warts!

• Add two little tear shaped nostrils.

• Make nostril holes with a Sculpey III tool or pencil

• Roll a little bit of red Sculpey III to form the tongue

• Place in mouth of frog.. press down firmly at the base of mouth

• Make a little crown from your yellow Sculpey III and pinch 3 prongs into it.

• Add tiny "jewels" to your crown from your red Sculpey III.

• Add crown to back of head.

• I used a spoon to hold the mouth open while I baked my prince charming.

• Bake frog in a calibrated oven (check actual internal temperature with an external oven thermometer) set at 275 degrees F for 15 minutes per ¼" of thickness.
• When doing "puppetry" you might want to add some scrap material at the base of the spoon or just wear an old green glove! Have fun!
