1, 2, 3!
Hop, hop hop!
This leaping frog activity is a super simple and fun way to practice counting with little ones.
First, lets put everything together with some arts and crafts, then well get into how to play!
The more lily pads you make, the higher it’s possible for you to count during the game!
We used a 2 lid to make ten lily pads.
Draw a wedge onto each circle and cut them out.
We added a small yellow circle to the middle as well.
Frog
To make the frogs legs, bend a green pipe cleaner in half.
Bend the rest of the pipe cleaner to make webbed feet.
Glue two googly eyes onto two small pom poms and attach them to the top of the body.
Glue on a little mouth cut out from red construction paper.
Now your frog is ready to play in the lily pad pond!
Ways To Play
1.
Place the lily pads number side up onto a blue piece of construction paper to make a pond.
double-check the lily pads are in order from 1-10.
Have your little one hop the frog from lily pad to lily pad while counting.
Have them try going backwards too!
Mix up the lily pads so the numbers are all over the pond.
Hop the frog around the pond going from number to number in order.
Little ones will have to count and search for the next number!
Select one of the lily pads and place it number side up in the pond.
Hop the frog on that lily pad the correct number of times.
Your little one might like to try hopping themselves while counting to the number on the lily pad!
Select one of the lily pads and place it number side up by the pond.
Then count and place that number of lily pads into the pond, number side down.
Then the frog can hop from lily pad to lily pad while counting.
Hop, hop, hop!
Happy hopping and counting!
