1. Glue the F to the paper.  Make sure it is off-center toward the left.

2. Add round circles to the letter F so that you will have a speckled frog.  This step is optional — plain frogs are great too. 🙂

And here they are!

RHYMES FOR LETTER F:

Here’s a fun song that fits perfectly with our craft!  Sing it to the tune of “Farmer in the Dell”:

The frog lives in the pond,
His tongue is oh so long.
It reaches high to catch a fly,
And then he sings this song.
Ribbit, Ribbit, ribbit
Ribbit, ribbit, ribbit
Hi, ho just watch him go
His tongue is oh so long!

When we learned about the letter F a few months ago my boys sang this this all the time.  Especially when they got free plastic hats from the fire station. 🙂  Sing it to the tune of “I’m a Little Teapot.”

I’m a little firefighter on the go.
Here is my helmet,
Here is my hose.
When I see a fire, hear me shout:
“Turn on the water and put the fire out!”
SHHHHHHHHHH!

Too-Many-Frogs

BOOKS TO READ FOR LETTER F: 

Too Many Frogs! by Sandy Asher

This is a fun story with adorably goofy pictures.  Rabbit lives by  himself and has things just the way he likes it: no fuss and no clutter.  Each evening, he reads quietly by the fire.  Until Froggie shows up.  Each night he returns to hear the story — making himself a snack, piling up the pillows – and then showing up with his entire frog family.   It’s all just too much fuss and clutter for Rabbit.  But when he turns Froggie away, he finds that he misses having someone to listen. At the end of the story he embraces this different way of life.  We loved this one!

birthday fish

The Birthday Fish, by Dan Yaccarino

If you haven’t read this book, please get it from your library as soon as you can – it’s too great to miss!  More than anything else, Cynthia wants a pony for her birthday.  She’s so sure she’ll get it that she’s picked out the name: Marigold.  But on her birthday she gets a terribly disappointing gift instead… a goldfish.   She is about to dump the gift down the drain, when it speaks up and promises to grant her a wish if she brings it to the lake instead.  Over the long walk to the lake the two become friends.  And as they turn around for home,  Cynthia gives the fish a name – can you guess what it is?

firefighters-a-to-z

Firefighters A to Z, by Chris Demarest

Do you have a preschooler who’s crazy about firefighters?  This is one of our favorites, written by a volunteer firefighter.  He takes you through a day in a firefighter’s life from A to Z.  This action-filled story features bright letters to begin each page. Your preschooler may enjoy naming them as you turn the page.
