This leaping frog perhaps came from the Amazon or maybe the Daintree Forest? Being so bright , it fits in with a tropical scene wonderfully.
I dont think the frog will miss catching that tasty insect with those big bulgeing eyes!
Made with cotton material which has been softly padded.
The spotted effect has been hand embroidered.
