Spring Book 3: Frog and Toad

Today I will be sharing free resources to go with Frog and Toad Together. I love the Frog and Toad stories. The lovable characters are a great example of friendship. If your students or children fall in love with Frog and Toad, there are so many more great stories for them to read. How have you taught Frog and Toad stories in your classroom? Which story is your favorite?

Crafts

Frog and Toad Puppets from Bed Rested Teacher 
I found a few puppets online but felt that it was not parent/teacher ready so I created this printable so that you could easily create puppets to use with the story. 

My inspiration came from:

From Bright Hub Education
From Chalk Talk

Frog and Toad Plates from First Grade a la Carte

Frog Coin Toss from Education.com

Frog and Toad Puppets from Bed Rested Teacher
I created the parts to the puppet to make it easier for younger children to make the puppet themselves (rather than you a parent making and cutting all of the arms, shirts, eyes, etc.).
Here are 2 finished examples that inspired my puppet:

Frog Handprint Art by Handprint and Footprint Art (you could make it brown for Toad)

Frog Paper Plates by Refined Metal Academy (color the plates brown for Toad)

Food Crafts

Apple Frog from Clean and Sensible

Kitchen Fun with My Three Sons

You can use spinach tortillas for Frog and flour tortillas for Toad. I also like that you could adapt this idea with various filling flavors.
