Inside: Looking for fun preschool frog activities? This collection includes 15 hands-on ideas that include art, sensory and science!

Although they may seem quite simple, frogs lead very interesting amphibian lives.

Did you know that they consume water by absorbing it through their skin?

Frogs are a great way to teach the beginning concepts of the life cycle to toddlers and preschoolers.

They begin as an egg in the water before hatching as a tiny tadpole. As they begin to sprout legs, they completely change appearances into a cute little frog before laying their own eggs and starting the cycle all over again.

Toddlers and preschoolers will probably have a lot of questions about how this happens!

These 15 preschool frog activities are a fun addition to the classroom frog theme, including art projects and hands-on sensory activities.

Bonus! Scroll down to find 3 different FREE frog printable activities!
