Frogs and toads are both amazing creatures that you might find hopping around in your backyard or near a pond. They look a bit alike, but they have some cool differences too!
Frogs are known for their long, strong legs. These legs help them jump really high and far. Imagine a frog leaping from one lily pad to another—it’s like they’re playing a fun game of leapfrog!
Toads, on the other hand, have shorter legs. They don’t jump as high as frogs, but they are great at walking and hopping around. Toads have bumpy skin that looks like it has little warts. But don’t worry, these bumps are just part of what makes a toad a toad!
Frogs and toads can live in lots of places all over the world. You might find them in forests, gardens, or near water. However, they don’t like very cold places, so you won’t see them in icy areas.
Did you know that frogs and toads are both great at catching bugs? They use their sticky tongues to grab tasty treats like flies and mosquitoes. Yum!
Next time you see a frog or a toad, take a closer look. Can you spot the differences? Are they jumping high or walking slowly? Remember, both frogs and toads are special in their own way!
Frog and Toad Observation Journal: Next time you visit a park or your backyard, take a small notebook with you. Look for frogs and toads.

Jump Like a Frog, Hop Like a Toad: Create a fun game with your friends or family. Mark a starting line and a finish line. First, try jumping like a frog by bending your knees and leaping forward. Then, try hopping like a toad with smaller jumps. Which one is faster? Talk about how frogs and toads move differently and why that might be helpful for them in the wild.
Frog and Toad Habitat Hunt: Go on a nature walk and look for places where frogs and toads might live. Can you find a pond, a garden, or a forest area? Discuss why these places are good homes for frogs and toads. What do they need to survive there? Think about water, food, and shelter. Draw a picture of a perfect frog or toad habitat.
