How to put it together

1
Put on the green hooded jumpsuit or the matching green hoodie and sweatpants combo.
2
Cut a large oval shape out of the yellow felt sheet to represent the frog's belly.
3
Attach the yellow felt oval to the front chest area of the jumpsuit using fabric glue or safety pins.
4
Draw a large black circle in the center of each white foam ball using the black marker to create the pupils.
5
Securely glue or sew the two foam eyes onto the top of the jumpsuit's hood, positioning them close together.
6
Slip on the green gloves and slide the green shoe covers over your footwear.
7
Pull the hood up over your head to display the frog eyes and complete the transformation.

Makeup & hair

Since the hood covers your hair, no complex styling is needed. If desired, apply green face paint around your eyes and cheeks to blend seamlessly with the green hood.

Frogger for couples, groups, kids & more

couples: Pair up with someone dressed as a retro car, a log, or a retro arcade cabinet.
group: Gather a group to dress as multiple frogs, cars, and logs to recreate a live-action level of the game.
kids: An adorable option using a green toddler onesie with felt eyes glued to a green beanie.
Plus size: A loose-fitting green fleece onesie offers a comfortable, stretchy fit for all body types.
pet: A simple green dog hoodie with two felt eyes attached to the hood.

Tips

Ensure the foam eyes are securely attached to the hood so they don't flop forward and block your vision.
Wear comfortable sneakers under your green shoe covers, as you'll likely be walking (or hopping) around.
Keep the makeup simple; sweat-resistant face paint is best if you plan on wearing the hood up all night.
For a fun photo op, pose mid-leap or stand near a busy crosswalk (safely!) to mimic the game's classic gameplay.
