Frogs


Jumping Bean is 33 months

This week we learned about frogs!
We went to our neighborhood lake & caught 8 tadpoles, we have them in a bucket & are going to watch them grow.

Then using a magnet set from Learning Resources we learned about the lifecycle of a frog, matching them up

I printed off these pattern cards from Making Learning Fun, glued them on the back of a recycled cereal box for sturdiness then had my tot match the shape above the frog to the matching shape on the lilly pad - this was his favorite & probably did these cards about 4 times this week!

Then I printed Frog Food File Folder Game for him to match the dragon fly to the same color frog

    Looks like a fun week! Enjoy watching your tadpoles!
