The kids will really enjoy making these frogs leap up and down. They can either check out the correct colors for our leaping friends or they can create their own version.

Trivia:

There is evidence that frogs have roamed the Earth for more than 200 million years, at least as long as the dinosaurs. While the life spans of frogs in the wild are unknown, frogs in captivity have been known to live more than 20 years. Source: American Museum of Natural History – Frog Fun Facts
