I have a free toad and frog lapbook today. Be sure to look at my page Toads – Amphibians for more fun ideas and my lapbook ideas and best homeschool unit studies pages.

Amphibians include three major groups: 1. Salamanders, newts and sirens; and 2. Frogs and toads; and 3. Caecilians pronounced  (see-SIL-ee-ans).

Herpetology comes from the Greek word which means to creep. Some say herpetology is a jargon word and not even in the dictionary.

Free Toad and Frog Lapbook and Fun Homeschool Unit Study Ideas

Today, I have a fun frog lapbook which also includes facts about the differences between toads and frogs.

We did this unit study about frogs because we wanted to know the difference between a frog and toad.

The World Book Encyclopedia answers: “Most true toads have a broader, flatter body and darker, drier skin than do most true frogs. True toads are commonly covered with warts, but true frogs have smooth skin. Unlike most true frogs, the majority of true toads live on land. The adults go to water only to breed.”

But also look at more facts below about frogs.

  4. Frogs need both water and land to live.
  5. A frog can change the color of its skin depending on its surroundings.
  6. Frogs have long back legs and webbed feet for jumping and swimming.
