Free Printable Life Cycle of a Frog Diagrams for Kids

I love that these frog life cycle diagrams require simple materials that you probably already have lying around. And I love that you can adapt the life cycle of a frog for kids craft into ANY life cycle you might be studying! Imagine all the comparing and contrasting possibilities.

Learning the Frog Life Cycle Stages in Preschool

REGARDLESS OF THE ANIMAL, PlANT, OR INSECT, LIFE CYCLES ARE A GREAT WAY TO INTRODUCE YOUNG LEARNERS TO NEW VOCABULARY AND CYCLICAL PROCESSES. THIS IS REAL SCIENCE FOR KIDS!

Biology for kids help children connect with nature, and they help them understand the world around them.

This life cycle of a frog diagram is a great hands-on way to explore how a frog comes into the world. Since kids are already familiar with frogs and typically have background knowledge, learning specific information about how a young tadpole becomes an adult frog is fascinating and real to students.

The life cycle of a frog worksheet includes eggs, tadpole, tadpole with legs froglet, and frog.

I like to use the frog life cycle printable at the end of the unit to review what we learned, to practice the vocabulary, and to have a final finished product to refer to as we study other plants, animals, and insects.

In addition to learning about frog eggs and tadpoles, you can pose additional questions to young learners. Depending on the species of frog you study, there could be additional questions for thought:

• How do frogs change as they develop?
• What does the frog need to grow and survive?
• What is it called when an animal/insect changes throughout its development?
• What food helps the froglet grow?

What Can Preschoolers Learn While Making a Frog Lifecycle Diagram?

LEARNING ABOUT LIFE CYCLES IN KINDERGARTEN SCIENCE IS A GREAT TIME TO INTRODUCE SCIENTIFIC VOCABULARY THAT SOMETIMES TRANSFERS TO OTHER TOPICS.

You can use vocabulary and processes on the life cycle to compare/contrast with other animals, plants, or insects.

• Metamorphosis
• Egg/tadpole/froglet/frog
• Grow/change
• Germination

How To Use Make the STEM Frog Lifecycle Diagrams

Step One:

Print the kindergarten science worksheets and pictures on paper or cardstock. There is an option to choose from either black/white or color.

Step Two:

Create each stage of the life cycle with the children. Cut out the pieces and have the children place them in the correct order. It’s best to have them place it on the spot before they glue it on so you can check for understanding.

Extend the Activity:

Frog activities

Our frog life cycle play dough mats are a colorful way to display the final result of the life cycle. What a great way to get little fingers working!

Create a Book

Make a life cycle book with half sheets of paper and child illustrations/labels of each step in the life cycle of a frog.

Picture Matching

Give your child real-life life cycle pictures of frogs and see if they can match them to the diagrams.

Sensory Bin

Talk about the life cycle stages of a frog and work on fine motor skills as you play in a frog-themed sensory bin.

Have a Snack

A frog-themed snack is a great way to please hungry kiddos while still reviewing important concepts and vocabulary! Grapes or raisins can be used as frog eggs, while gummy worms and gummy frogs can be used for additional stages.

Play a Game

Continue learning about frog life cycles with a fun board game designed to engage and teach the stages of a frogs life.
