I love mixing different kinds of craft materials to make unique projects that don’t necessarily come under any category. After all, it’s the creative process that matters, right?

And don’t let the word ‘mixed-media’ scare you – it’s just a reference to using a collection of craft supplies, like we’ve done in this recycled plastic egg frog craft! We’ve recycled a plastic egg and added some pom poms, googly eyes and craft paper to the mix to create an adorable little froggy!

This craft can come in handy when teaching kids about aquatic animals or amphibians. Create a little frog habitat for the little guy to live in, and you have everything you need for a complete biology lesson!
