Inspired by Flannel Friday--Five Green and Speckled Frogs


I have been wanting to make this storytime prop for YEARS--ever since I first saw it on Mel's Desk in April 2011 (Holy moly time flies!).

I loved Mel's adorable frogs and their little log, but first I had to learn how to sing the song (that explains why it took so long).

Also, I knew that in order to use it in my family storytimes, I would have to make it bigger! Enter the mailing tube! Each frog photo is four inches wide, and it's shown sitting on the top shelf of a book cart, to give you an idea of the scale.



I added numbers for a little extra literacy punch. And yes, the waves do line up, because I'm fancy like that.


Next, I plan to steal another one of Mel's ideas, and hand out pipe-cleaner flies for the kids to wave around while we sing.

  1. Ohhh, I like the mailing tube idea! I bet it was sturdier than the paper towel roll.
