Step 1: Tie a red ribbon around it; and it’s activated.
Step 2: If red ribbon isn’t your thing then you can place the toad on a red paper.
Step 3: If the toad you’ve bought has a red ribbon tied then it’s already activated and you need not activate it again.
Now, that you know how to activate a money toad, you need to – and should – read the next section of the article to know the significance of coin (the toad has in its mouth) & how it should be oriented.
3 Legged Money Frog with Coin in Its Mouth
Most – almost all – 3 legged toads that you’ll see in the market will have a coin in their mouth. If there’s none then you need to buy a separate coin from the vendor.
You know, the coin in the mouth of the toad is really important. It symbolizes the money or monetary benefits that the toad bringing in with it.
Depending upon then manufacturer, you’d usually get 2 types of coins.
- With Ruby (symbolic) at center of coin
- With Chinese Symbols and Writings.
If you get the Ruby one, then make sure that the Ruby side is pointing upwards (and never downwards) once you place the coin in frog’s mouth.
If you get a coin with Chinese writings on one side and symbols (usually 4) on the other, then make sure that the Chinese symbol side is facing upwards once the coin is placed in toad’s mouth.
How Many Money Frogs to Keep?
Well as simple answer to that question is 9; one each in every direction within the living room or garden of your home.
The 9 wealth frogs will represent money flowing from all the directions towards you. Make sure to place them discreetly. Also, they all must face in different directions of the compass. Furthermore, the one that’s near the entrance should face inwards (towards the home) as it symbolizes huge wealth and money coming in.
If you’re unable to keep 9 money toads, then six or three toads is also auspicious.
However, a single 3”X3” wealth toad should suffice for a home or small office.
