Frog
I’m so excited to hop along with you as we dive into the fascinating world of frogs in our Frog Challenge badge!
I’m toad-ally sure you’re going to love it!
Pawprint badges are super fun and provide your children with an opportunity to work towards an end goal. They are a lovely creative set of cross-curricular lessons based around a theme. A Frog Challenge badge can be purchased on the Pawprint website if your child enjoys collecting them – but don’t worry, it’s completely optional.
Each week, we’ll dive into the world of frogs with a fun new activity:
Week 1: Introduction – What are frogs? We’ll explore their characteristics and finish with a hopping frog craft.
Week 2: Craft – Create a pony bead frog keyring.
Week 3: Games – Frog-themed games, such as: spot the difference, a frog quiz, jumping frog puzzles, and even moving our bodies like a frog!
Week 4 - pre-recorded - my brother is getting married!!
Food – Froggy face cupcakes! We’ll bake and decorate cupcakes to look like cute frog faces.
Week 5: Other – Dive into the frog life cycle, exploring each stage of their fascinating journey.
I’m frog-tastic with excitement and can’t wait to jump into our next adventure together!
