With more than 4,000 species of frogs, there’s sure to be a few strange ones!

There are lots of different kinds of frogs. Watch the video below from the San Diego Zoo to learn about a few of them.

The last two downloads in this section can be used as mini-books to add to your notebooking pages (the small mini-books fit into the illustration boxes of the frog study pages – also below). You can also add them to a lapbook, create a wall poster to display the frogs you’re studying, cut out just the frog portion and use as flash cards, or copy two sets of flash cards and play a memory game. There are lots of different uses for them!

  1. This is a great unit! I am so excited to use it with a student I do homebound for. We have adaptive baking equipment and I think the frog cupcakes will be a fun baking activity for us to do! Thanks for putting this together and sharing it with others! Hoppy spring!

  2. Thank you for sharing. Looking for some creative, interesting ideas to incorporate into my unit on frogs.
    :)

  3. This is INCREDIBLE! Thanks for all your hard work. My students are going to LOVE this. Hugs to you!

  4. WOW!! thank you so much for putting such an amazing package together for us all to enjoy!! I cant wait to get started with my boys.. Is there one button I can push to download it all or do I have to go thru and download each section individually? .. I cant wait to see what you have in the future for us to share and enjoy with our little ones:)

    Thanks again:)

    1. Thank you for such a nice comment! I’m glad you like this study! The files are separate because when I added them to my site last year I couldn’t add larger files. However I can now and will most likely create a file for one download. Thanks for making me aware of it — some things get forgotten :) Thanks also for stopping by my blog!

    2. Thanks Amie! I’m planning to create one file for download soon. I’m glad you like and hope the study works well for you and your boys! Thanks for stopping by :)

  5. All I have to say is WOW! I’m so excited to use this with my kids. We love notebooking and nature studies. I love your site and use most of your freebies and resources from Currclick. I’m a huge fan of yours and always look forward to what’s new! Keep up the amazing work!

  6. Thanks- this is a wonderful resource! My day of planning just got significantly shorter. Blessings to you & yours.

  7. WOW! This is amazing! I cannot imagine how long this took you….well, maybe I can imagine because I tried to put together a unit on frog & toads after reading Arnold Lobel’s series by that name and it took me forever to gather materials from various sites! Now I see you had already done all the work….we will definitely be re-visiting this subject! Have you put together more of these “all inclusive” topical studies?

  8. This is a wonderful unit of study for April! I teach at a private school for children with emotional, mental and learning handicaps. This unit is easily adapted for use with multiple levels of ability with few modifications.
    Thank you!
    Thank you!
    Thank you!

  9. Thank you so much for taking the time to post these wonderful resources. I am so excited to share these pages with my boys! So much fun and excellent work!!

  10. AMAZING! Wow thank you SO MUCH for this! We will definitely be doing this in the spring. I appreciate all of your time and energy putting this together. THANK YOU for sharing!!

  11. I am interested in this Frog unit study. We’ve never done notebooking and I’m not sure what to do with all the “blank” boxes. It looks like where pictures should go? We are not very good at drawing and where do I go for pictures or know exactly what needs to go in the boxes?
