What you need

A full sheet of paper and large child-appropriate crayons.

Age: 3–5 years; choose for the individual child.

Let's make it happen

  1. Draw four scenes: eggs in water, a tadpole, a tadpole with legs, and an adult frog.
  2. Point to the scenes in order and describe what changes as the frog grows.
  3. Add a pond or plants to the picture and imagine where the adult might rest.

Adult stays beside the child; observe wildlife and water from a safe distance without handling animals or eggs.
