Three Green and Speckled Frogs for Toddlers (OK, two frogs and a toad!)

Today I'm sharing a *very* simple way to present the classic "Three Green and Speckled Frogs" song to a toddler story time group. I can't believe I hadn't thought of this before!

Puppets:
3 frogs (I had to use a toad)

Prop:
Remove labels and one bottom from two large oatmeal containers. Tape them together to make a hollow log. You'll put your arm through this while you're singing.

A piece of blue fabric or paper as a pretend pool.


I've started sitting on a banquet table to present my puppet skits, puppet songs, and flannel boards. I'm high enough so that my large group can see, and just out of reach of my toddlers.  :)

With the "log" on one arm, count the frogs and perch them on top of the log. As you sing the song, have a frog jump off and drop it into the pool.
EASY!

Lyrics to the song and the tune can be found online.





Happy day,
Miss Lisa
