Cute Colorful Toilet Paper Roll Rainforest Frogs for a Rainforest Frog Craft

I have a cute toilet paper roll rainforest frog craft. And I have more ideas on my pages Rain Forest – Amazon, Rain Forest – Animals of the Amazon, and Rainforest Amazon Activities for Kids

If you spend any time studying the Amazon Rainforest one of the first things that pops up is probably the smallest.

The tiny colorful little frogs that make their home in Amazon Rain Forest are beautiful, some poisonous, and some still much a mystery.

Cute Colorful Toilet Paper Roll Rainforest Frogs for a Rainforest Frog Craft

If you are studying the rainforest you will want to camp out and study these fascinating little leapers for a while.

You’ll want to find out about their beautiful color and amazing adaptations, understand which are poisonous, where they fit in the food web, and how they survive the treacherous conditions there.

While you enjoy a study of the Amazon Rainforest, I have a rainforest frog craft for you that can be customized to create colors just as varied and beautiful as you will find in the thick greenery of the Amazon.

If you were trekking through the rain forest some of the frogs you might see are:

  • Red-Eyed Tree Frogs
  • Poison Dart Frogs
  • Emerald Glass Frog
  • Splendid Leaf Frog
  • Smokey Jungle Frog
  • Golden Poison Frog

10 Rainforest Frog Facts

  1. Most poison dart frogs are about the size of a quarter.
  2. One interesting feature of the red-eyed tree frog is that as it is jumping and untucks its brightly colored legs it startles predators, giving it more time to escape.
  3. Poison Dart frogs are immune to their own poison due to special sodium chambers that protect them.
  4. The tiny Golden Poison Frog is likely the most poisonous animal on Earth.
  5. Toxins from poison dart frog skin have been found to have valuable medicinal uses.
  6. There is strong evidence to suggest there is a correlation between the vibrancy of their skin and the amount of alkaloid toxins the frogs have.
  7. Female, red-eyed tree frogs lay their eggs above the water. When the eggs are ready to hatch, the tadpoles inside start moving vigorously, this breaks the egg open, and they fall into the water below.
  8. Rainforest frogs’ lifespan is about 20 to 30 years.
  9. Rainforest frogs prefer crickets, flies, grasshoppers, and moths. But they will even eat smaller frogs.
  10. There have been more than 427 species of frogs found in the Amazon Rainforest.

Also, add some of these books and resources to learn about frogs.

    Rainforest Frog Craft-Toilet Paper Roll Rainforest Frogs

    First, do a little research on the Internet or by looking through books to determine what types of frogs live in the Amazon rainforest.

    This will help you choose your paint colors and the patterns on the frogs. For younger children feel free to just let them freely paint with bright colors while you talk about the different rainforest frogs.

    You will need:

    • Bright construction paper/cardstock
    • empty toilet paper rolls
    • Bright craft paints
    • Craft or hot glue
    • Buttons
    • Scissors

    Cut toilet paper rolls in half.

    Cute Colorful Toilet Paper Roll Rainforest Frogs for a Rainforest Frog Craft

    On one end of each toilet paper roll press the sides inward slightly and then crease. Flatten this end partly.

    Cute Colorful Toilet Paper Roll Rainforest Frogs for a Rainforest Frog Craft

    At the opposite end press flat and glue, hold in place until the glue dries, or use clothespins or paper clips to hold it together.

    Cute Colorful Toilet Paper Roll Rainforest Frogs for a Rainforest Frog Craft

    Once dry paint the entire outer toilet paper roll with whatever base color you like.

    Cute Colorful Toilet Paper Roll Rainforest Frogs for a Rainforest Frog Craft

    While waiting for the bodies to dry, work on the legs.

    Remember the old accordion fans you used to make as a child? You are going to repeat that accordion fold on each of the legs for each frog.

    Cut the construction paper into quarter-inch strips and then cut it in half. You want them about 6” long. Crease each fold firmly as you go back and forth to give it a good “spring”.

    Cute Colorful Toilet Paper Roll Rainforest Frogs for a Rainforest Frog Craft

    Cut out some feet with rounded toes.

    Cute Colorful Toilet Paper Roll Rainforest Frogs for a Rainforest Frog Craft

    Glue a foot onto the end of each leg.

    Now, even if your paint is still a bit wet you can add some detail with more paint like dots and stripes and add some to the legs too.

    Cute Colorful Toilet Paper Roll Rainforest Frogs for a Rainforest Frog Craft

    Allow everything to dry completely.

    Flip your frog over and attach the legs to the underside.

    Cute Colorful Toilet Paper Roll Rainforest Frogs for a Rainforest Frog Craft

    Flip it back over and fold down ½” to form the mouth.

    To finish off your frog, glue the button eyes to the top of the head. You can add slits to the red eyes to really make them look realistic.

    Moreover, the Peacock Throne was a famous jeweled throne that was the seat of the emperors of the Mughal Empire in India.

    Too, it was commissioned in the early 17th century by Emperor Shah Jahan and was located in the Diwan-i-Khas (Hall of Private Audiences, or Ministers’ Room) in the Red Fort of Delhi.

    It was named after a peacock as two peacocks are shown dancing at its rear.

    According to Britannica: “It was ascended by silver steps and stood on golden feet set with jewels, and it was backed by representations of two open peacocks’ tails, gilded, enamelled, and inset with diamonds, rubies, and other stones.”

    Additionally, in the gardens of India, Rome, and Ancient Greece live peacocks were kept.

    According to the Greek Reporter: “The peacock plays a role in ancient Greek mythology as the symbol of the goddess Hera, the consort of Zeus.“

    7 Honey Bee Activities And Explore a Bee Hive With Felt Activity

    April 4, 2023 | 5 Comments
    This post may contain affiliate links. For more information, please see my full disclosure policy.

    This time of year is perfect for fun hands-on honey bee activities to buzz deeper into their lives and learn more about them. Also, grab more ideas on my Honey Bees Unit Study page.

    Bees are fascinating little creatures that fly even though they should not be able to,

    They spend their days gathering pollen, making honey, and building amazing little worlds to store it in.

    7 Honey Bee Activities And Explore a Bee Hive With Felt Activity

    Today we are going to create and explore the various cells in a hive.

    It is a great activity for all ages.

    Some of your kids might need a little more help than others creating it but even toddlers as you can see here will enjoy exploring and building the hive.

    Honey Bee Facts

    First, look at some honey bee facts.

    • Each beehive is made up of thousands of hexagonal thin-walled fragile cells.
    • Bees create hexagonal shapes for their cells because the six-sided cells fit perfectly without leaving any space in between, circles would leave wasted gaps.
    • The queen honey bee is about twice the length of a worker.
    • Each hardworking little honey bee only makes about 1/12 of a teaspoon of honey in its lifetime.
    • The tiny tips of the antennae of a honey bee have more than 300 taste sensors.
    • The ancient Egyptians and other civilizations used honey as food, medicine, and as a beauty treatment.

    Next, add some of these fun books about bees to your nature study.

    8 Honey Bees Unit Study Resources & Books

    Add some of these fun resources to your bees unit study or spring unit study.

    Bees: A Honeyed History

    One part science, one part cultural history, and countless parts fascination, Bees: A Honeyed History celebrates the important role that these intriguing insects have played in our ecosystem throughout the ages, and today.

    The Beekeeper's Bible: Bees, Honey, Recipes & Other Home Uses

    Part history book, part handbook, and part cookbook, this illustrated tome covers every facet of the ancient hobby of beekeeping, from how to manage hives safely to harvesting one’s own honey, and ideas for how to use honey and beeswax. Detailed instructions for making candles, furniture polish, beauty products, and nearly 100 honey-themed recipes are included. Honeybees, which are critical in the pollination of popular US produce such as almonds, apples, and blueberries, are actually not native to the Americas. The honeybee that you see dancing from flower to flower in farms and gardens originated in Europe. The introduction of the honeybee began with European colonization of the Americas; before that, wild native bees, other insects, and some birds and mammals pollinated the native flowers of the continent. The honeybee’s ability to pollinate crops, produce honey, and be easily domesticated precipitated the growth in beekeeping all over America.

    Flight of the Honey Bee: Read and Wonder

    Follow the flight of a honey bee as she searches for nectar to sustain her hive and, along the way, pollinates flowers to produce seeds and fruits. Nature lovers and scientists-to-be are invited to explore the fascinating life of a honey bee.

    Life Cycle of a Honey Bee

    Honey Bees are fascinating creatures which have been kept by humans for centuries. Now you can explore the life cycle of the honey bee without being stung. Watch as it grows from an egg, to a larva, and to a pupa before finally emerging as a mature adult.

    Nature Anatomy: The Curious Parts and Pieces of the Natural World

    Always a favorite when doing any kind of nature study, there are a few pages that cover different types of bees, common nectar sources, and bee anatomy. If you don't have this set already I cannot recommend it enough for nature studies.

    Farm Anatomy: The Curious Parts and Pieces of Country Life

    One of the companion books to Nature Anatomy, the farm version covers all parts of farming, machinery, and crops but it also caught my eye because it even covers Beekeeping for aspiring beekeepers. It goes over bee terminology, parts of a bee, the parts of a hive, types of bees, flower parts, and beekeeper essentials. These books really put a lot of info into compact parts.

    The Life and Times of the Honeybee

    Why do beekeepers use smoke machines when collecting honey? Can a bee really sting only once? Why do bees "dance"? In concise, detailed text and abundant illustrations that range from the humorous to the scientific, Charles Micucci offers a wide-ranging and spirited introduction to the life cycle, social organization, and history of one of the world's most useful insects.

    The Magic School Bus Inside a Beehive

    When the Magic School Bus turns into a beehive, Ms. Frizzle's class learns firsthand about how workers, drones, and the queen bees live together. Readers will be abuzz with knowledge as they discover how honeybees find food; make a comb, honey, and beeswax; and care for their young, all from the bee's perspective.

    Third, look at these 7 honey bee activities.

    7 Honey Bee Activities

    Besides, hands-on is the best way for learning to stick.

    1. Make a Bee Sensory Bin.

    Take a bee life cycle set and use it as a base for a sensory bin or put it out on your bee themed science shelf.

    7 Honey Bee Activities And Explore a Bee Hive With Felt Activity

    2. Learn about the different types of cells in a comb.

    Visit BeeManiacs to learn a little more about the different cells of a honey beehive.

    3. Taste honey straight from the comb.

    You can grab honey from your local produce stand if you can’t taste it straight from the comb.

    If you have a friendly beekeeper locally, consider planning a field trip to see how the process works firsthand.

    4. Make honey slime.

    DIY Honey Slime is a great sensory activity for your little beekeepers.

    5. Honey bee play activity.

    Littles will love this Beekeeper Dramatic Play.

    7 Honey Bee Activities And Explore a Bee Hive With Felt Activity

    How to Make a Felt Honey Bee Comb

    You will need:

    • White felt
    • 2 shades of yellow felt
    • 3 shades of brown/tan felt
    • Yellow and gold paint-optional
    • Scissors
    • Pencil
    • Printout of a hexagon shape on cardstock
    7 Honey Bee Activities And Explore a Bee Hive With Felt Activity

    I found a hexagon on Google and reduced it to 20%.

    You can make your hive cells any size that you would like larger or smaller. Print on cardstock so it’s a bit sturdier to use as a template.

    Use a pencil to trace the hexagon for as many cells as you would like on the yellows and the two lighter browns.

    7 Honey Bee Activities And Explore a Bee Hive With Felt Activity

    Cut them out and trim them if needed by holding the template over the felt to make sure they will line up nicely.

    Make a Felt Honey Bee Comb

    You are going to assign one color for each cell- eggs and larvae, pollen, honey, and brood cells.

    7 Honey Bee Activities And Explore a Bee Hive With Felt Activity

    If you want to add a bit more detail to your hive use paint to add details.

    Make “dripping” honey on some of your uncapped cells and paint other solids to represent the capped honey cells.

    I did this with a mixture of yellow and gold paint.

    For pollen cells, simply make yellow “pollen” dots by dipping the handle end of your paintbrush into paint and dotting the cells.

    7 Honey Bee Activities And Explore a Bee Hive With Felt Activity

    Allow the paint to dry fully.

    Use the white felt to cut small eggs and a few small larvae.

    7 Honey Bee Activities And Explore a Bee Hive With Felt Activity

    While the paint is drying, cut out your beehive.

    I did a beehive shape like you would see hanging from the limbs with Winnie the Pooh dipping his hand in.

    7 Honey Bee Activities And Explore a Bee Hive With Felt Activity

    Finally, assemble the cells in your beehive.

    You can glue them down if you like but if you have younger children, I recommend leaving them loose so they can take them apart and rebuild it over and over.

    Using bee figurines to play with and explore the hive.

    The bee life cycle set from Safari Ltd. is perfect to demonstrate the different stages of bees you would find in the hive.

    You can also create a little honey bee by twisting yellow and black pipe cleaners together and cutting them off at about 1” long, twist on a small piece of white pipe cleaner for wings.

    Another great extension for this activity is heading outside to find flowers either in the garden or growing wild to investigate pollen firsthand.
