What do you do:
Explore each stage together and talk about how a frog changes as it grows.
Mix up the pieces and encourage your child to place the life-cycle stages in the correct order.
What's Needed:
Frog life-cycle pictures or pieces
Eggs
Tadpole
Froglet
Adult frog
Plate, tray or flat surface
How to Adapt
For younger toddlers: Focus on looking at and naming the different stages rather than expecting them to sequence them correctly.
For older children: Encourage them to arrange the stages independently and explain what happens during each part of the frog's life cycle.
Make it more open-ended: Create a sensory pond using water, stones, leaves and toy frogs and let your child recreate the frog's habitat through imaginative play.
