frog frenzy
Friday, October 30th, 2009
After learning some fascinating facts about green tree frogs at our recent incursion, we seem to have gone into a bit of a frog frenzy.
Did you know they drink water through their skin? Did you know they peel off and eat their skin weekly? Did you know they catch flies, pop them into their mouths and roll their eyes around and around pushing the food down to their tummies? We didn’t – fabulous stuff!
We have pulled out the old favourite songs such as “Mr Frog jumped out of his pond one day“.
And a couple of the children’s favourite books, “Picasso the Green Tree Frog” and “Frog Friends“.
We popped out some coloured card, scissors, felt pens and staplers for the children to make their own frogs.
We took the opportunity to have a skill session and reminded them how to do fan folding.
They could make the frogs legs this way if they wished.
Some preferred straight legs.
They were all individual!
Another green tree frog fact: He can change colour to blend into his environment!
