Free Frog Life Cycle Printables for Elementary

Spring is the perfect time to learn about frogs and these frog life cycle printables will make the perfect addition to your unit study resource stash. As always, when we’re talking about the little learners, resources should be eye-catching, engaging, and educational all at the same time. I’ve taken some of the guesswork out for you with my frog life cycle unit study and a few other resources you may enjoy as well. 

Fun Ways to Teach the Frog Life Cycle

First, let’s talk about a few fun ways to teach this scientific concept. Here are a few ideas to help teach your kids about the life cycle of a frog that will keep them engaged and learning at the same time.

Use videos.

What kiddo doesn’t like videos? Anytime I put a video on the computer or TV, all of my kids become glued. Use this to your advantage, especially when teaching about subjects like these. Here are a few videos to save to your “life cycle” playlist:

• This is How a Tadpole Transforms Into a Frog
• Life Cycle of a Frog
• Animal Discoveries
• Metamorphosis Song

Use engaging books.

Incorporating rich literature is a hands-down no-brainer for me. I have found that even if kids cannot read, being consistent with reading to them will help them become much better readers once they start. I typically like to choose a few subject-related books to add to our reading time, as well as a few books that my kids can pick up and read at their convenience. Regardless of how you want to do it, consider adding these books to your frog life cycle lesson plans:

• I Am a Frog: A Book About Frogs for Kids
• A Frog’s Life
• A Frog’s Life Cycle
• Tadpole to Frog
• Egg to Frog

Frog Life Cycle Activities

Little learners also like to use their hands, so giving them plenty of hands-on activities will go a long way. Whether you want to use sensory bins or have your kids dissect a frog, these are a few to add to your lessons about the frog life cycle:

• Insect Lore Frog Life Cycle Stages
• Safari Ltd Life Cycle of a Frog
• Learning Resources Giant Magnetic Frog Life Cycle
• Life Cycle Card Set

Free Frog Life Cycle Unit Study

As I mentioned before, I created a unit study to help you teach your little ones about the life cycle of a frog. In this Frogs MEGA Activity Pack, students will learn about metamorphosis and amphibians through reading, fill-in-the-blank sentences, a word search, creative writing prompts, and more! There are more than 395 pages in this massive pack that can be used individually or conveniently paired with a lesson suggestion above.

Conclusion
