Step-by-Step Instructions
-
Prepare and base coat
Wash and dry your round rock. Paint the entire rock with bright green paint. Apply two coats for a vivid, even color. Let each coat dry completely.
-
Paint the big eyes
Paint two large white circles near the top of the rock for the frog's bulging eyes. Make them big and round - frog eyes are their most distinctive feature. Let the white dry.
-
Add pupils and mouth
Add large black circles in the center of each white eye. Paint a wide, curved smile line across the lower half of the rock. The smile should stretch nearly from side to side.
-
Add spots and details
Use dark green paint to add random spots or patches on the frog's back. Add a white highlight dot to each eye. Optionally, paint a small red curling tongue at the corner of the mouth.
-
Seal and finish
Let everything dry completely. Spray with clear sealant for a glossy finish that also makes the frog look naturally shiny, just like a real frog.

Add RoxGeo Code
On the bottom or back of your rock, write ROXGEO.COM followed by a slash and your rock’s unique code (e.g. ROXGEO.COM/ABC123). This lets the finder go directly to your rock’s profile page and log their discovery. If the rock is too small for the full address, write #ROX followed by the code without spaces (e.g. #ROXABC123) — it’s short, easy to search on Google, and leads straight to your rock’s journey page. Use a fine-tip permanent marker or acrylic paint pen, and seal it with clear varnish so the code stays readable through rain, sun, and adventure.
Helpful Tips
- Round, smooth rocks are perfect - they already look like little frogs.
- Make the eyes really big and goofy for a fun, cartoon-like frog.
- A glossy sealant gives the frog a realistic wet-looking finish.
- Use different shades of green for the spots to add depth.
- Paint a lily pad on a flat rock as a base for your frog to sit on.
