Fun Facts About Pond Frogs

Frogs start their lives in water: tadpoles hatch from frog spawn and breathe with gills, just like fish. After about two to three months, they turn into tiny frogs. In Europe, the common frog doesn’t croak loudly – it makes a soft purring sound like a kitten. Frogs eat insects, worms and slugs, which makes them great garden helpers.

What to Do with Your Finished Frog

Cut out the frog and glue it onto a paper plate painted like a blue pond. Then play a hopping game where everyone jumps like frogs from lily pad to lily pad.
