Let me start by saying this little crochet frog is ADORABLE. The moment I unboxed it, I was surprised by how soft the milk cotton material feels – like holding a tiny cloud with a frog face. The stitching is tight (no loose threads!) and the spring has just the right amount of bounce.
PROS:
- That WIGGLE though! Stuck it on my dashboard during a road trip, and watching the frog head bob along to every bump and turn never got old. My passengers couldn't stop smiling at it.
- Strong adhesive base (the non-marking tape held perfectly through both city driving and highway speeds)
- Surprisingly good size – at about 4 inches tall, it's visible but doesn't obstruct your view
CONS:
- After two weeks of summer heat, I did notice one eye starting to loosen (fixed it with a dab of super glue)
- The crochet is slightly thin in spots – you can see stuffing if you look closely
BEST USE CASE: This isn't just a car decoration. I've moved mine to my home office monitor when not driving, and the cheerful bobbing makes work emails less tedious. Also makes an absolutely perfect white elephant gift – my entire book club ended up wanting one after seeing mine!
FINAL VERDICT: For under $15, you're getting a well-made, conversation-starting little buddy that brings unexpected joy. Just maybe keep it out of direct sunlight during heat waves.
