Boredom Busters: All About Frogs

We are temporarily reviving our Children's Blog to provide some resources for families who are stuck at home during this period of social distancing due to COVID-19. We will put together a variety of activities for you and your families every day at 1:00 pm. Watch for weekend Boredom Busters on Saturday and/or Sunday. See which ones you can do, and if you get the chance, share the results with us on any of our social media platforms, which will be listed at the bottom of this blog.

Today's theme is All About Frogs! 

Frog Games: https://kidactivities.net/frog-theme-for-kids/

There's lots of frog-themed games to choose from! Here's a few of our favourites:

Catch the Fly: played best in pairs, catch "flies" by trying to toss raisins into each other's mouths. A fun way to eat a healthy snack!

Frog Hunt: Print out paper frogs of use an assortment of toy frogs; hide them around your house or yard, and have the kids find as many as they can!

Froggy Says: A twist on "Simon Says". Select your "Froggy", and have them ribbit! out their commands!

Finger Print Frogs: http://kiddley.com/2006/06/13/ed-emberleys-fingerprint-drawing-book/

Ed Emberley's finger print drawings are perfectly simplistic, but portray a lot of character! Grab some green paint, and make some finger print characters - and frogs - of your own!
