Frog Lifecycle Craft Activity for Kids

Last week we shared how to make Toilet Tube Frogs. Today we have a fantastic and fun frog-themed craft to help teach kids about the Lifecycle of the Frog. I remember learning about lifecycles as a child and always found it so fascinating. I also remember going tadpole fishing with my teachers and it was so much fun. I hope you enjoy this Frog Lifecycle craft and teaching idea.
