This Croaking Frog Craft actually croaks! He's perfect to make for Halloween, fall, Room on the Broom, or just for fun by himself!
The other day, the kids found a toad outside that was as big as their hands. They loved it! It was the perfect chance to read one of our favorite Halloween books, make a frog craft, and talk about frogs some more!
My daughter thinks the frog's croak sounds more like a "scraping sound," but that was also a great chance to talk about how different frogs make different sounds. For example, did you know that...
* Only male frogs croak!
* Every frog species makes a different sounding croak!
* Some "croaks" sound more like a bird chirping!
* The red-legged frog only "calls" underwater!
