leap year frog cookies

Did you know that 2012 is a leap year?! Well it is and how better to leap into a little fun than with a yummy treat! Try my super easy cookie for the special day. The kiddos will love assembling him and then you can help them gobble him up!

You’ll need:

  • Body & Head ~ 4 Oreo cookies
  • Feet ~ 2 Keebler Vienna Wafer cookies
  • Eyes ~ sugar gummies (I used an icing tip bottom to cut them out in a perfect circle) and two green candies from a candy necklace (I wanted the holes, but you could use tons of things)
  • Tongue ~ red Chicklet

As always, I hope you’re inspired to craft, bake and create!

    Staci ~ I always thought it would be fun to have that day as a birthday… then I’d only be 9 now. ;) Happy early Anniversary!

    Can’t wait for February to make these! They would also be great for any frog themed party. I especially love that they are made out of store bought cookies!
