Perfect for our younger learners (Preschool–Early Elementary), this pack pairs with the beautiful book Am I a Frog? by Lizzy Rockwell or can be used on its own as a frog-themed early learning pack. It’s a wonderful way to blend literacy with science.
What’s Inside: Hands-on activities covering math, pre-writing, and literacy.
Why we love it: It can be used as a stand-alone unit or as a companion to the book, making it flexible for your busy spring schedule.
Have your kids ever asked you, "Is that a frog or a toad?" This study is the ultimate guide to answering that question! This unit dives into the biology, ecology, and distinct behaviors that set these two amphibians apart.
What’s Inside: Engaging lessons and activities that compare anatomy, habitats, and life cycles.
Why we love it: It turns a simple backyard discovery into a high-level scientific observation.
Metamorphosis is one of the most incredible transformations in the natural world. This comprehensive unit walks your students through every stage—from a tiny egg to a fully grown adult frog.
What’s Inside: Anatomy posters, 3-part cards, life cycle wheels, and coloring pages.
Why we love it: It’s visually stunning and includes a variety of extension activities (crafts, book lists, and videos) to keep the learning going all week long.
If you are planning on raising tadpoles at home or visiting a local pond frequently, this journal is a must-have. It encourages children to slow down, look closely, and record what they see.
What’s Inside: Dedicated space for drawing observations and recording changes over time, plus a handy life cycle reference sheet.
Why we love it: It builds essential scientific skills like data recording and patience, and it makes for a beautiful keepsake of your spring nature studies.
