feeding frog funFroggy Feeding Fun teaches, develops, and strengthens lots of different talents of a preschooler.  Children have a great time playing with the frogs of the game, while learning their colors and numbers, practicing their fine motor movements, and building upon their social skills.

All this will certainly make a child hungry.  So you can plan to make this time even more special by preparing Frog Cookies ahead of time for players to eat.  After feeding the frogs, kids can feast on frogs! This brings out even more giggles and offers a wonderful, fun game time spent together.

The game consists of two squeezable rubber frogs, 60 flies, 1 number die, and 1 color die.  It is recommended for ages 3-7 and comes with an activity guide.  Players take turns rolling the dice to determine which flies their frogs should snack on.  Will a frog pick up two yellow flies or three red ones? Maybe the frog will want four blue flies?!

The activity guide provides different suggestions on how to play with the frogs and flies.  During play, the game (and learning) is made more exciting by creating munching sounds and making comments about the frogs eating the flies.  If a player rolls a six, players can laugh on how hungry that frog is!  Or if a player has rolled the same color in a row, he can chuckle how his frog loves that color!

It doesn’t matter who wins or loses.  It is spending the time together and enjoying each other.  So much is learned by playing a game!  Go ahead and plan a night to do so!
