Learning about Frogs for Kids

When I started writing this post I thought I had never written about learning activities involving frogs before, but clearly I didn’t dig far enough into the archive because on another blog post I found while writing this one was a link to a post about frog unit studies that I wrote in 2016. I’m going to guess I can find some new things for you since then!

Check out our very own Frog Life Cycle lapbook available for download here.

You’ll probably want to start with the life cycle of a frog, which you can read more about at National Geographic Kids. That post has great pictures, too. You can also dig into the frog life cycle and other facts about frogs, plus get a free set of printables that includes life cycle, anatomy and more, from The Homeschool Scientist.

Or grab a free frog life cycle folding book you can make into a frog craft from Life Over Cs.

I love this playdough life cycle activity from How Wee Learn (uses paid resources, but you could do it without them if you’re on a budget).

Affordable Homeschooling has a free printable anchor chart and parts of a frog worksheet for labeling. They also have a great list of nonfiction books about frogs if you’re looking to add some to your library.

Free Homeschool Ideas has a couple of fun printables/coloring sheets involving frog vocabulary and things a frog eats.

Trillium Montessori has some fun frog facts, a link to a video of frog and toad calls, and some great paid resources for preschool, as well as links to lots of other resources.

The Crafty Classroom has a nice free frog unit study that includes sensory ideas, life cycle worksheets, lily pad math and more.

Grab a cute frog lapbook that includes parts of a frog, predator and prey mini-book, tadpole vs. frog and frog vs. toad facts and more from Homeschool Share. And don’t miss the free resources from The Notebooking Nook, which includes more than 140 pages for journaling, observation, learning frog facts and much more. The website linked also has a ton of great information and videos on everything from the difference between frogs and toads to poison dart frogs and frozen frogs.

This time of year is a great time for pulling out all the apple and pumpkin themed worksheets to add a little seasonal fun to your learning. Let’s take a look at some fun pumpkin themed worksheets for the classroom or homeschool.

If you want some pumpkin printables that are actually about pumpkins, check out the pumpkin life cycle worksheets from 24 Hour Family that include parts of a pumpkin, life cycle, vocabulary, shape and counting activities. Rock Your Homeschool also has a cute printable and foldable life cycle worksheet for the life cycle of a pumpkin that kids can color and put together.

Inspire the Mom has ideas for a pumpkin unit study as well as printables (free with email signup) that include parts of the pumpkin, letter recognition, lesson plans and more. The blog post also includes more ideas for things like pretend play and centers, as well as books and videos with a pumpkin theme you can include in your study.

Do some pumpkin themed color by number with these printable coloring pages from The Artisan Life. Or try your hand at pumpkin I-spy with this printable from The Best Ideas for Kids.

Work on shape recognition and matching with this color, cut and paste activity from Free 4 Classrooms. And get some cutting practice with a pumpkin twist with these worksheets from Simple Everyday Mom.

These last two have a bunch of different fall themed worksheets to choose from, some of which include pumpkins. Willa Bean and Co. has a pumpkin themed alphabet set that includes pumpkins with the letters inside them and sets of upper and lower case letters on seeds you can use for matching.

And Worksheeto has a bunch of fall themed phonics worksheets, including pumpkin sight words with fall themed words and pumpkin letter matching.
