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.

A lot of kids aren’t in school for the Fourth of July, but whether you’re in a classroom or at home, you’ll probably want to mark July 4, 2026, in a special way because it is America’s 250th birthday. And there are lots of ways to learn and celebrate, as we’ll see below.

The Homeschool Bee has a big bundle of resources for the big day, including timelines, information about the founding fathers, silly word fill ins, pages showing the evolution of the American flag and information on constitutional amendments. In all it is 35 pages and it’s great for a variety of ages. You can find it on Teachers Pay Teachers.

Another printable activity set, this one aimed at grades 2-5, is available on TpT from George Kipriot Classroom Resources. This one includes a word search, crossword puzzle, maze, word scramble, coloring pages and more, plus a timeline and reading about the Declaration of Independence.

It wouldn’t be a birthday party without party hats, and there are a few different versions of print, color and cut party hats with a patriotic theme at Teachers Pay Teachers. The Internet Research Project has a set with an Uncle Sam kind of hat, a crown with the Statue of Liberty on it and one that says America 250.

There’s also a Happy Birthday America hat from Sweet Sensations, which features the years, fireworks and the Statue of Liberty and declaration of Independence.

You can find a lot of Fourth of July coloring pages with a 250th birthday theme. For example Britts Digital Paper Co on Etsy has some cute pages, including a patriotic goose reading a book for some reason (I also like their printable firework craft). eParenting also has an America 250 coloring page that includes the shape of the country and an American flag.

And if you want to try some more general Fourth of July projects, check out this collection of patriotic STEM activities from Homeschool Giveaways. Make your own “fireworks,” sensory activities, make a fizzy flag, build a graham cracker White House and more.
