Frogs...

I tried to move these pictures below to the snack section, but blogger is not letting me. Here are two of the snacks we have had this week:

"Froggy Food": There is a link to the recipe below, but it is just plain m&m's (bugs), pretzels (worms), goldfish (small fish) and raisins (flies) - all representing different things frogs eat. Andrew had a good time helping me mix it up and eating it!

Frogs:



We are moving on from zebras to frogs. We checked out some informational books from the library about frogs. We are doing some research about frogs and then we are going to build a frog habitat just like we did with the zebra habitat. I'll let you know how it goes and post pictures.

I have the following information on activities and things associated with frogs:

Songs/Movement Activities:

Five Little Froggies (adapted from Ten Little Froggies on http://www.preschooleducation.com/sreptile.shtml)

One little froggie goes hop.
Along comes another and they just can't stop, soo...
Two little froggies go hop, hop.
Along comes another and they just can't stop, soo...
Three little froggies go hop, hop, hop.
Along comes another and they just can't stop, soo...
Four little froggies go hop, hop, hop, hop.
Along comes another and they just can't stop, soo...
Five little froggies go hop, hop, hop, hop, hop.
Drop! Time to stop!

The Frog
http://www.preschoolrainbow.org/animal-rhymes.htm
A little green frog once lived in a pool
The sun was hot and the water cool,
He sat in the pool the whole day long,
And sung a dear little, queer little song,
"Juaggery do, Quaggery dee,
No one was ever so happy as me."

Five Green and Speckled Frogs
Five green and speckled frogs
Sitting on a speckled log
Eating some most delicious bugs.
Yum, yum.
One jumped into the pool,
Where it was nice and cool.
Now there are four green speckled frogs, glub, glub.

The following has tons of pictures. I don't think they are free to print out, BUT, they are fun to look at and are helping Andrew and I as we do a little research about what a frog's habitat might be like:

The following has some video and sound recordings of frogs:
