FROGS AND TOADS!

WE HAVE BEEN LEARNING ABOUT FROGS AND TOADS!

WE LEARNED THAT FROGS AND TOADS ARE BOTH AMPHIBIANS AND THEY START THEIR LIFE AS TADPOLES. 

FROGS....
Need to live near water
Have smooth, moist skin that makes them look “slimy”.
Have a narrow body 
Have higher, rounder, bulgier eyes
Have longer hind legs 

Toads:

Do not need to live near water to survive

Have rough, dry, bumpy skin

Have a wider body

Have lower, football shaped eyes

Have shorter, less powerful hind legs

Will run or take small hops rather than jump

Do not have many predators.  Toad’s skin lets out a bitter taste and smell that burns the eyes and nostrils of its predators, much like a skunk does.

RIBBIT... RIBBIT!!!!

 WE MADE PAPER PLATE FROGS

AND WE MADE BROWN TOADS!

 WE ARE SO EXCITED TO GO AND SEE 

"FROG AND TOAD" AT THE SCOTTISH RITE THEATRE TOMORROW!
