Happy Earth Day!

Let's learn about lily pads!

Lily pads are the green leaves of a water lily plant that grows in the water.  Sometimes there is a flower that blooms on it. 

Lily pads are plants in a lake or pond that frogs can sit and rest on. 

Lily pads help the frogs to stay cool and wet in the water, while taking a break. 

Frogs like to jump from lily pad to lily pad.

Stepping Stones

Make your own lily pads and have your child pretend to be a frog who must squat down and leap from pad to pad. Variations of this game include: Using stepping stones of different shapes and/or colors. You then shout out a particular color or shape for your child to jump to.
