Make Your Own Book!
In this activity, your child will make their own book!
Color or paint each picture.
Let dry, then cut each page out!
An adult can staple each page together.
Then, read the book together!
This shortened story of The Snow Queen will help your child better understand the rather lengthy reading of the story.
Activities for The Leap Frog
In this first activity for The Leap Frog, your child will make a fun folding frog!
Color the frog, then cut it out.
Glue the tongue into the frog’s mouth.
Then fold it as depicted in the instructions to make a fun frog! His mouth will open and close with his froggy tongue sticking out!
Teach your child about the life cycle of a frog with this fun hands on activity!
Color each part of this picture.
Cut out the life stages of a frog on the dotted lines.
Cut out the frog, lillypad, and number as one single piece.
Then, glue the stages of a frog’s life cycle in order and fold accordion-style.
Use this learning tool to let your child tell others all about how a frog grows!
In this fun connect the dots activity, your child will practice their numbers as they complete the froggy picture!
Don’t forget to color or paint the picture at the end!
