Frog Crafts for Preschoolers

Choose one or more of these frog crafts to add to your frog, pond life, or animal themed preschool lesson plans! They’re great for spring and summer fun!

Springtime means new life. Flowers are blooming, and baby animals are being born. One of my favorite springtime activities is studying frogs.

Preschoolers are fascinated by the life cycle of a frog as they grow from tadpoles to froglets to full grown frogs. 

There are so many fun activities you can do to teach preschoolers about frogs. Most of the activities featured here can be made with supplies you likely have in your craft craft closet already. You’ll find simple construction paper crafts, crafts made from recycled household items, fine motor fun, and more.

The Wide Mouthed Frog – From the Okefenokee Swamp comes a frog with a wide mouth that he just loves to use. He’s particularly interested in the eating habits of other creatures found in the great outdoors–that is, of course, until he comes upon a big green one with lots of teeth who finds wide-mouthed frogs simply delicious.

I Don’t Want to Be a Frog – Frog wants to be anything but a slimy, wet frog. A cat, perhaps. Or a rabbit. An owl? But when a hungry wolf arrives—a wolf who HATES eating frogs—our hero decides that being himself isn’t so bad after all.

Frog on a Log?– A read-aloud story that will have kids rhyming around the house!
