Whistling Tree Frogs

We have our new tadpoles for this year.  They are Whistling Tree Frog tadpoles.  Their names are as follows:

Bartholomew Bubbles

Hunter Puddle

Riley Froglet

Emmett Croaky

Samantha Greenfield

Estella Water-Lily 

I am quite unsure how we will tell them apart!

I thought this would be a great Lap Book topic for the children.  I like the idea of Lap Books but haven't done very many of them over the years. 

First we talked about what we already know about frogs.  Then we read this little book and looked at the frog model from our science box.

Then the girls got busy making the front cover of the Lap Book

Crystal was finding it hard to draw a frog freehand so she found a How-To-Draw book which had instructions to draw a crab.  She got the basic outline and then modified it from there.

I got some of my ideas for the Lapbook from Pinterest, and others I imagined on my own.  A lovely afternoon activity.  Memories together.  

We will make some jumping origami frogs, and read a few froggy books - Beatrix Potter's Mr. Jeremy Fisher, Kenneth Graham's The Wind in the Willows
