Frogs are a great way to teach the life cycle: egg, tadpole, froglet and adult frog. Ask kids which stage they think is the strangest. Most frogs are green or brown, often with darker spots. Tropical poison dart frogs show off bright blue, yellow, red and orange, so older kids can try those bold colors. Frog pages also go well with Leap Day and pond field trips.
Color the frog a few shades of green and add darker green spots with a marker. For a craft, glue the frog onto a paper plate lily pad and add a curled red paper strip for a tongue.
