Preschool StoryTime: Frogs

My little girl student is not here today- just 3 boys- so I'm skipping the craft. But we were going to make a frog puppet.

We read: Why Frogs are Wet by Judy Hawes and Keeping Minibeasts: Frogs by Watts. I had also planned to read Frog Prince

We played 'hopping frog' which is a lot like 'hot potato'. Use a frog stuffed animal and set a timer for 30 seconds (1 minute was too long) and then pass the frog around so you are not the one holding it when the timer goes off

We played 'leap frog' with me holding the hoppers hands so they didnt' hop on top of their friends. But their favorite part was just to put some pillows on the ground for 'lily pads' and then hop from one to the other. We have a few alligator stuffed animals nearby to be the crocodiles in the pond so the little frogs do not fall into the pond. They LOVED this and played for quite a long time

For snack we are going to have 'flies' (raisins)
