About the frog guiro

A guiro is a ridged percussion instrument that you scrape with a stick. This one is shaped like a frog, so scraping the ridges on its back makes a croaking sound. The designer made it for the Scouts Music merit badge. There's no dedicated scraper; a Sharpie works well.

Print it with your usual settings. The only support you need is under the big overhang at the front; don't support anything else, or you'll struggle to get the support out of the frog's mouth.
