Frog life cycle sequence and fold science craft activity

Review the stages of the frog life cycle with this foldable activity. This cut-and-paste printable is differentiated, with options for both matching and sequencing the life cycle of a frog. A fun mix of craft and worksheet!

The finished foldout mini-books are ideal for sticking into an interactive science notebook. Use to support a lesson on pond life, amphibians, life cycles, frogs, or as a spring science center.

The template options

This PDF resource contains 5 different templates so that you can differentiate the activity if needed:

1. Four-part life cycle (eggs, tadpole, froglet, frog) to color, match the word labels to the pictures, glue, cut, and fold.

2. Four-part life cycle to color, match the description labels to the pictures, glue, cut, and fold.

3. Four-part life cycle to color, sequence the stages, glue, cut, and fold. Option to sequence stage names or short descriptions.

4. Six-part life cycle (eggs, embryos, tadpole, tadpole with legs, froglet, frog) to color, match the word labels to the pictures, glue, cut, and fold.

5. Larger six-part life cycle to color, sequence the stages, glue, cut, and fold. Option to sequence stage names or short descriptions.

Directions and pictures showing how to fold are included. Some children may need extra support with folding.

What else is included?

• Color life cycle posters (with 4 or 6 parts).
• Life cycle flash cards (color, 3-to-a-page).
• Compare a newly-hatched tadpole and an adult frog cut-and- paste activity. There are 2 levels for this - one has 8 labels to sort, the other has 12. Students should arrange labels in place before sticking anything down. Alternatively, you could have students come up with their own differences and write directly on the sheet.
• Versions for both US and UK paper sizes/spelling
