How to Draw a Baby Frog
Draw a baby frog in 10 easy steps, about 8 minutes. Free, with a printable worksheet.
Each picture adds one red line. Draw that line, then scroll to the next picture. Rub out any dashed helper lines at the end. First up: round tadpole body.
Step 1: Round tadpole body
In the middle left, draw 1 round body like a fat bean, with a blunt snout on the left.
Tip A baby frog is mostly a round tadpole body: no neck yet.
Step 2: Big eye
Draw 1 big circle eye on top of the head, poking above the body. Colour a black pupil and shine.
Tip Frog eyes sit on top like headlights, even on a baby.
Step 3: Smile and nostril
Start at the snout. Draw a smile back under the eye, turning up at the end. Dot a nostril.
Step 4: Tadpole tail
Start on the back of the body. Draw a long tail curling up to a point, back to the body.
Tip Rub out the body line inside the tail, so body and tail are one shape.
Step 5: Soft tail fin
From the tail by the body, draw a soft fin line above it, ending past the tip. Same below.
Step 6: Bent back leg
Start under the back of the tummy. Draw a fat bent leg to a 3-toed foot, back to the tummy.
Step 7: Bent front leg
Start under the chin. Draw a short bent leg down to a 3-toed hand, back up to the tummy.
Step 8: Pond floor and bubbles
Draw a long pond floor line across the page, under the feet. Add 3 little bubbles rising by the snout.
Step 9: Cream tummy, sky fin
Colour a band along the tummy cream. Then colour the soft tail fin sky blue.
Step 10: Colour it green
Go over your lines, then colour the body, tail and legs green around the tummy. Leave the eye white.
Your finished drawing
Follow the steps above and this is where you end up: a baby frog, drawn by you.
