Frogs

My silly little girl loves frogs. This summer we caught a bunch of tadpoles and a few baby frogs. Turns out larger tadpoles will eat the small ones. We were able to raise six of the frogs/ toads until late fall when we decided to let them free. Grandpa Austin also helped the frog farm by catching little miss a tree frog and bringing it over. Turns out tree frogs like crickets not meal worms. The other frogs loved meal worms and would eat several at a time. The tree frog also got released into the wild.

This year in science we are studying zoology, and this week we are studying amphibians.  So today we focused on frogs. I found a fun website that had all kinds of fun information on frogs and toads. She loved it! She spent over an hour reading about frogs and listening to their sounds. She even wrote down interesting facts that she wanted to remember later. I love this kid!
