Frog Life Cycles
Mrs. Gregg's Second Grade

Life Cycle of a Frog
One warm spring day, a mama frog comes to a shallow pond in the woods and lays her eggs. When you come out of your egg and plop into the water it might be a little scary; you have to swim away from predators. Soon, in about three weeks you will grow some legs. You will just look like a frog with a tail. After a while, you trade your tadpole mouth for a bigger one. A new you will become a froglet and your tadpole tail will disappear. Now, today is a hot spring day in the middle of the Squannacook River. On this windy day, you lay your eggs just like your mother. |

Life Cycle of a Frog
This is a frog pond. But where are any of the frogs? In a small shallow pond, tucked in a forest, floats a clump of jellylike frog eggs. Not all of those eggs will make it because in that cool shallow water are predators. Some of the jellylike clusters are too big. So predators can’t eat them and some are too small. So predators will be able to eat them. But the jellylike clusters that do make it will become frogs. First, a tadpole will come out of the egg. Every tadpole has a head, body, gills and a tail. After that, they get bulges which will soon grow into hind legs and front legs. One at a time, the tails will grow smaller and smaller until they finally are gone. The tadpoles shed their tadpole skin and grow lungs for breathing air. |
Life Cycle of a Frog
It’s spring when an adult frog lays her spawn in a shallow pond. In a few weeks the eggs will hatch! Suddenly, a fish comes and eats an egg. Then, a dragonfly eats another! Not all spawn are going to survive. The life cycle of a frog has begun. A few weeks later a wonderful thing is happening. A tadpole comes out of an egg. Then another and another emerge. The tadpoles grow hind legs. Then, front legs grow. Then, the tail starts to grow smaller and smaller. They are froglets! Then, their tails disappear. They are adult frogs. They crawl out of the water. Then they eat flies. They go back to the pond to start the life cycle of a frog again! |

Life Cycle of a Frog
In spring, a mother frog lays her eggs in a crystal blue pond. Three weeks later the eggs begin to hatch! These are called tadpoles. Once they are hatched, they have to be on the lookout. Danger could be anywhere. One of the dangers is fish. Not all can survive all the dangers of the pond. They will get used to it and be on the lookout every minute. A few weeks later, they start growing their hind legs. And then in a few more weeks they start to grow their front legs. Next, they grow lungs and their mouths get bigger. The eyes and the tails start to shrink. When you can only see a hint of their tail, they come out of the pond. They are now called froglets. When their tails are completely gone they are frogs. And then the cycle starts all over again! |
Life Cycle of a Frog
Can you find me? This is a story of my life cycle as a frog. It starts in the woods when a mother lays her eggs. A frog starts as an egg. Next, it grows into a tadpole. The tadpole changes. Its tail becomes shorter and it turns into a froglet. Next, she loses her tail. She is a frog! YEAH! Now, she can lay eggs and the life cycle begins again.
