    Frog Features

    What makes frog so fun learn about is their features.

    For example, look at these features.

    Big Eyes: Frogs have large, bulging eyes that help them see in the dark and spot their prey.

    Sticky Tongue: Frogs use their long, sticky tongues to catch insects.

    When a frog sees a bug, its tongue shoots out super fast and sticks to the bug, pulling it back into the frog’s mouth.

    Slimy Skin: A frog’s skin is smooth and slimy, which helps keep them moist and healthy.

    Some frogs even have bright colors or patterns to warn predators that they’re toxic (poisonous).

    Hopping Legs: Frogs are excellent jumpers.

    Their powerful back legs help them leap from place to place, and they can jump up to 20 times their own body length.

    Additionally, learn about the frog life cycle with this diorama.

    4 Stages Frog Life Cycle

    They go through a fascinating transformation as they grow.

    They go through four stages.

    1. Egg

    A female frog can lay hundreds of eggs at once.

    These eggs are often grouped together in jelly-like clusters. They’re pretty small and look like tiny, transparent blobs.

    2. Tadpole

    Once the eggs hatch, out come the tadpoles.

    Tadpoles are like little fish with tails and gills.

    They live in the water and spend their days swimming around.

    At this stage, tadpoles don’t look much like frogs yet. They’re mostly focused on eating and growing.

    Cool Fact: Tadpoles feed on algae and tiny plants in the water.

    As they grow, they start to develop legs and their tails begin to shrink.

    3. Tadpoles with Legs

    As the tadpoles continue to grow, they start to change dramatically. This stage is called the “tadpole with legs” phase. Here’s what happens:

    Then tadpoles gradually lose their gills and start developing lungs so they can breathe air.

    First, the hind legs begin to grow, followed by the front legs.

    Thereafter, the tadpole’s tail gets shorter as the body transforms.

    4. Adult Frog

    Finally, the tadpole turns into an adult frog.

    This is when it’s ready to hop out of the water and start living on land.

    Adult frogs have strong legs for jumping and a different diet. They eat insects and other small animals instead of algae.

    Adult frogs have to stay moist to keep their skin healthy, so you might often see them in damp or wet places.

    Today, I’m showing you how to make a fun origami frog Amazon Rainforest craft. And I have more ideas on my pages Rain Forest – Amazon, Rain Forest – Animals of the Amazon, and Rainforest Amazon Activities for Kids.

    Working on an Amazon Rainforest craft is a fantastic hands-on way to learn about the amazing flora and fauna of the Amazon Rainforest.

    From painting to paper folding there are so many ways to learn new art skills while you also get inro some zoology or botany about the Amazon.

    Also, creating an origami frog is fun, great for building fine motor skills, and can be done while learning about the colorful jumpers that make their home in the canopy layer.

    So, simply choose different colors of origami paper and add a little detail with markers to create an army of frogs. And yes, army is the right word for a group of frogs.

    About Origami

    Additionally, you can use these origami frogs as a tool for learning about the markings of the various Amazon Rainforest frogs, as a STEM activity for measuring distances, building, problem-solving, fine motor, and attention to detail.

    Origami was first called “orikata” in Japan meaning “folded shapes” and was later changed to origami meaning folded paper. 

    While you can use any paper you like if it is square.

    To get good folds and flexibility you really want to use the special origami paper. This very thin paper is specially designed for folding and works beautifully, but it will take some practice to get good at it
