From YouTube: Lily Frog Painting with Charminster Library

Description

In this video, Charminster library show you how to paint a frog, based on the character Lily from Silly Squad.

A

Okay, so for today's craft we are going to need a big piece of a3 paper. If you haven't got some a3, you can get two bits of printer paper and stick them together. Then you'll also need some green paint, a paintbrush, a plate to put your paint in a print. Stick a pencil, some white paper and some bread paper and a big black felt tip pen as well.

A

So the first thing we're going to do is we're going to get a bit messy, so we're going to put some green paint in our plate and then we're going to do a couple of hand prints to make our frog. So you just scratch the paint around in the plate a bit and then you're going to dip your hands in the paint. Hopefully you handle a little bit smaller, so you they won't fit in the plate.

A

If you think there's any bits missed off, you can always just paint straight onto your hand, okay and then we're going to do a nice big print at the top there. There we go and then we're going to do the other hand.

A

So do the same thing.

A

So again, I'm just going to paint on a little bit of the extra bits that I've got.

A

Bottom of the hand, so I'll just go ahead and put that in there. Okay. So once that's done, but then just going to draw a nice big circle paint it in.

A

So this is going to be once you've finished. It's actually going to be the other way up. This is going to be the top of the frog, but it's just easier to keep this around for the.

A

Moment a nice big circle there lots of paint. This is going to be frog body.

A

Okay and then we're going to draw on his legs through hers, actually.

A

Just a couple of lines like.

A

A

Okay, so that's done so, while that is dry, I'm going to go and wash my hands so once you change your hands and hopefully washed your paint bowl up as well, while the picture's drying we've been getting on with the next bit of the frog, so we're going to make some nice big eyes. So I'm just going to get some white paper and then you just want to find something circular that you can draw around the eye.

A

So I'm actually going to draw around my paint bottle so just draw a nice circle around there and then another one and then to make this really stand out. We're going to.

A

And then I'm going to draw some nice big pupils in there as well.

A

And then, once we've done that you can cut those out, I've got some that I did earlier.

A

There we go so in a minute. We can stick those onto our frogs, then we're also going to make a nice tongue. So you want to get some red paper and we're just going to cut a long strip and then we're going to curl it up, because frogs have got a nice long, curly tongue. So if you just grab your pencil and then hold on to the paper tightly and then just curl it around get it nice and curled up, go all the way up to the end.

A

Okay and then just take your pencil out and then you've got a nice tongue that will roll back so we'll grab our dry color. There we go and then just got to put some decorations up. So we've got our eyes now to stick on, so we can grab our print stick and stick those in.

A

A

Let's get some nice big og eyes and I'm going to draw a nice big mouth on.

A

A

And then the last thing is just because frogs are nice and bouncy. I'm gonna draw some bouncy she's been jumping around there. We go, and that is a pretty short picture.
