Nocturnal Frogs That Meow

Sage really wanted this frog for Easter. He picked it out a month before Easter and would talk about wanting to play with it every day until Easter finally arrived. Since his show and tell day was coming up at school and they are studying India, we decided to research if frogs actually lived in India.  Not only did we learn that there are many species of frogs in India, we also found out that 12 were recently discovered. We learned that some frogs are nocturnal and then went on to discuss which other animals are nocturnal. We learned that some frogs meow and went on to watch hilarious videos on YouTube. Some frogs are endangered and we talked about extinction and endangered animals.

Sage has also really taken an interest in sewing. He wanted to make a pillow and sleeping bag for Froggy. He picked out the felt colors and chose the shapes he wanted. He stitched with the needle and thread and stuffed the pillow with cotton. I helped him with threading the needle and tying the knots. We talked about big needles vs. small needles and how the smaller ones have smaller eyes but they are sharper and easier to sew with. All of his previous sewing projects at home have been really small. We put more planning into this one to make sure it would be big enough for Froggy to fit inside. The pillow is sewn on so it won't get lost. Froggy loves his new sleeping bag.
