Leaping Frog

Catch this frog in mid-air! The page freezes an energetic frog at the peak of a leap, body arched, back legs stretched out long behind it, front legs reaching forward, and an excited open-mouth smile, with a lily pad waiting below. The pose is full of motion and makes for one of the liveliest frogs to color. Frogs are champion jumpers, and many can leap many times their own body length in a single bound thanks to those powerful, folded-up back legs. The long stretched limbs give this page a nice flow to follow with your crayon, and the arched body is one big shape that is easy to fill. Add a few motion lines behind the frog to make the jump feel even faster. Use bright greens for energy and a contrasting pad below. Print on US Letter or A4 and let it fly.
