On Tuesdays I’ll be sharing some of our Toads in Hats. We first put a tiny hat on a toad in 2024, but in 2026 we had a couple very photogenic toads who stood for portraiture for a whole 10 minutes. We were able to make them wear a LOT of hats in that time and then we took the images and used our imagination to put them into scenes for our enjoyment and entertainment. We hope you might be entertained, too!

A Note From Behind the Scenes:
Real toads. Real tiny hats. Real photographs.
The imaginary worlds around them are created with Canva, stock photography, and our own overactive imaginations. The museum-style frames are added in Canva, too.
No toads were harmed in the making of this art.
Enjoying Toad in Hat Tuesday? There’s a whole year of tiny hats, real toads, and questionable amphibian dignity waiting for you in the Toads in Hats Calendar.
