Frogs and Toads

Posted on Wednesday 9 May 2007 at 9:56 AM in Homeschooling - Post Comment

I wish I was able to post pictures, but I have yet to get the software back on my computer.  But Boo caught a frog and a toad in our yard yesterday.  What great science projects.  Today we are going to study them and learn the differences between the two.  We also have a couple Frog and Toad books by Arnold Lobel that he can read.   I would love to find some frog/toad eggs...or even tadpoles so that we can study them.   There is a pond close by, maybe we'll take a walk there this afternoon if it stops raining.  I came across a great website with all kinds of information about frogs called Frogland at http://allaboutfrogs.org/ .   They even have frog jokes!  What did the frog order at McDonalds?  French flies and a diet croak.  lol  I found some frog/toad stuff on the Enchanted Learning website and we'll probably use some of that:  http://www.enchantedlearning.com/subjects/amphibians/frogs.shtml.  If you have a preschooler, you might like this web page:  http://www.first-school.ws/theme/animals/amphibians.htm.  I'd also like to do a craft or two.  One is going to be a toad house/pool for the garden.  Here are some other crafts that I found:  http://www.dltk-kids.com/animals/frogs.htm, http://www.daniellesplace.com/HTML/frogcrafts.html.  Should be a fun day.
