Frogs Make for Good Puppet Play

Kids are fascinated with frogs and frog puppets are fun. The Muppets made frog puppets cool. Frogs are everywhere and many people listen to their chorus every night. Have you heard a bull frog? I think frog croaking is an early childhood skill learned by many toddlers.

Frog puppets can encourage imaginative play, tease out story telling skills, teach about nature and backyard wildlife as well as provide simple and easy play. Here's a selection of puppets from the realistic frog and toad to the cunning and cute Kermit the Frog.
