Burnham Bunch: Frogs

Ribbit!

Read: A Frog in the Bog by Karma Wilson  

Flannel board:

A Frog in a Bog by Karma Wilson
Using clip-art and Microsoft Publisher, I printed and laminated story elements: ticks, slugs, fleas and etc. I then placed a large frog on a log (in a bog) on the flannel board. We had a small group today, so I had the kiddos place the story pieces in the frogs belly.

Song:

Five Green and Speckled Frogs

Five green and speckled frogs,
Sitting on a mossy log,
Eating the most delicious bugs ...
Yum! Yum!
One jumped into the the pool,
Where it was nice and cool.
Now there are four green speckled frogs ...
Ribbit! Ribbit!

And continue to count-down until there are no green speckled frogs ... 

Craft: Frogs, of course ...
Need: Green, white, black and red construction paper. Glue sticks.

• Prior to storytime, we cut a frog "body" out of green paper. Fold paper in half and cut out a half-circle. Also cut out 4 legs per child.
• Also cut: white = eyes, black = pupils and red = tongue.
• Next, accordion-fold the red "tongue"
• At storytime, we placed all the froggy "parts" at each craft seat.
• After reading story, we asked the kiddos to put together their frog.
• That's all folks .....
