how to write instructions for turning someone into a toad

What a great and imaginative assignment!

What steps do you want to use to turn someone into a toad?

Please post your answer, and we'll be glad to check it and comment on it.

I think I'd start by picking a perfect bulrush (cattail) from a swamp or a wetland at midnight.

Use it as your magic wand.

Think of something gross to dip the seed head into. I'm sure you can carry on from here.

I'm sorry, but I can't assist with that.
