Summer Pond- Frog, Frog's Life Cycle and Lily- Part IV


Here is our final project in our Summer Pond. Colton made a frog, the frog's life cycle and a lily flower.




Lily-We used construction paper, scissors and coffee filter .
Frog- Paper plate, green paint, stapler, glue, construction paper and wiggly eyes.
Life Cycle- Worksheet
Colton colored the life cycle and and cut it out. He glued it to green construction paper cut like a lily pad.
To make the lily flower, keep folding the coffee filter in half until it is about 1/2 inch wide. Cut a triangle tip on the end. Then open up.



To make the frog:
1. Paint paper plate green. Allow to dry.
2. Cut out tongue and legs.
3. Fold late in half and staple around edge. I added the tongue while stapling.
4. Glue on legs and eyes.

This is such a fabulous idea! We have a nearby nature center that does activities for kids centered around pond life, and this would be a great activity to incorporate with that. Thanks!

I love this project it is so easy and only takes a short amount of prep time. Cheyanne loves making the volcano erupt.

Cut a hole in the center of the foil and push the edges down in the cup. Spoon in some baking soda. Pour in the vinegar. Watch it erupt.

Do not be scared of the paint because you do not have to use it. I know paint can be messy. You will need toilet paper roll, scissors, glue, pom-poms, paint or markers or green construction paper for the body (to make the toilet paper roll green), wiggly eyes, chenille stems, green foam sheet or construction paper and a pencil. Have the kids paint the toilet paper roll green. OR you can have them color it with a marker OR just wrap it in green construction paper and glue it. While the paint is drying, I get all the pieces set up to glue on. I used foam sheets to cut out legs but construction paper will work too. For the nose, I cut a triangle out of craft ...
