Although they may seem quite simple, frogs lead very interesting amphibian lives. Did you know that they consume water by absorbing it through their skin? Frogs are a great way to teach the beginning concepts of the life cycle to toddlers and preschoolers. They begin as an egg in the water before hatching as a tiny tadpole. As they begin to sprout legs, they completely change appearances into a cute little frog before laying their own eggs and starting the cycle all over again. Toddlers and preschoolers will probably have a lot of questions about how this happens! These 15 preschool frog activities are a fun addition to the classroom frog theme, including art projects and hands-on sensory activities. Bonus!
