5 Speckled Frogs

I guess when there are kids in the house who need entertaining, singing is necessary.  We love the '5 Green and speckled frogs"  counting song.  Yesterday was leap day, so I was looking for something to do with leaping.  Frogs leap.  It was a stretch, but we created 5 speckled frog puppets and an envelope to store them in.

I could've been more creative, allowing the kids to create their frogs.  I was having "a day" I suppose, so took the easy way out and just printed some photos off of the internet.

We laid the photos upside down and placed some popsicle sticks on them.  We then used tape to secure the sticks to the back of the photos.

We took some time to notice the differences between all of the frogs.  Opposites have been talked about recently in group time. 

We spent a lot of time holding our puppets and singing the song! The kids enjoyed having frogs to look at.  In group time we use our frog puppets, and when the frogs "jump into the pool", we fly them across the room. 

One piece of construction paper folded over and stapled makes a great storage envelope!

 This happened yesterday, and threatened to happen this morning.  Happy Thursday!♥♥♥

Song for today is Figlio Perduto performed by Sarah Brightman.  She's so graceful- and I love Beethoven.♫
