Music
Five Little Frogs
words by Louise Binder Scott and music by Virgina Pavelko.  A booklet with words are found at All about frogs for kids and teachers @ kiddyhouse.com.  Raffi has a CD of "Five Little Frogs".

Color 5 green (with brown or black spots) frog patterns.  (You might want to use one from: Environmental Coloring Sheets - Minnesota Pollution Control Agency.  You will need to reduce the size of the frog.) Laminate them.  Tape a craft stick on the back of the frogs.  Make a log out of brown felt or construction paper and a blue pool out of felt or paper.  (Laminate if your using paper.)  Place masking tape, sand paper, emery board, etc. on the back of the felt log, pond, and the frogs.  On the flannel board, place the log and blue pool under the log.  (If your using construction paper, place it on the felt board or against a poster board (leaning against something).)  As the song is sung, have the children remove the frog puppet from the log and jump into the "pool".  You can have some of the children pretend to jump into the pool.
