Materials/Instruments list
|
Water bottles, scrapers (popsicle sticks work well), and shaker fill guiro (frog guiro, if you have one) recordings of frog calls or Frogwatch USA stuffed frogs with recorded calls (https://www.stuffedsafari.com/Stuffed-Frogs-and-Plush-Frogs-s/45.htm) Assorted instruments Stuffed frogs and salamanders or pictures of real frogs and salamanders Scarves or ribbons Prepared Book: Over in the Meadow Wood or magnetic letter pieces (LWoT) Mystery box or bag Puppet if you use one (I use an alligator named Alfred in all my classes) For the water bottle guiros, collect recycled water bottles with ridges in advance, one per child. Add some shaker fill (Birdseed is good-that way if any escapes, it goes to good use), and close the lid. Seal with electrical tape or hot glue. You can add eyes and legs to make it more "Frog like" if you wish. Use a scraper to make your "frog guiro" croak, or shake to make other sounds. We will use these in some of the activities. |

F is for frog/Letter assembly activity, fast and slow frog calls.
