Toad houses are really neat to watch. The toad backs into the doorway and when he sees a likely meal - he steps out on the porch to dine. I put a note with mine to tell people not to shake the toads out because they will move. No one likes a shakey house! I have one pattern that looks like a mushroom and one that looks like a little house. I have seen many at craft shows simply made out of part of a log. An arched doorway and hollow in the middle. I have seen them embellished with everything from dried flowers to little window frames and dormers. I got my patterns from the winfield collection.
