  2. Stages of a Frog’s Life Egg- Tiny frog eggs are laid in masses in the water by a female frog. The eggs hatch into tadpoles. Tadpole- This stage hatches from the egg. The tadpole spends its time swimming in the water, eating and growing. Tadpoles breathe using gills and have a tail. Tadpole with legs- In this stage the tadpole sprouts legs (and then arms), has a longer body, and has a more distinct head. It still breathes using gills and has a tail. Froglet- In this stage, the almost mature frog breathes with lungs and still has some of its tail. Adult-The adult frog breathes with lungs and has no tail

What does a Frog Need to Grow and Survive?? • The frog has lungs for fast breathing. • Frogs have strong back legs for leaping and swimming. • The frog has moist skin to allow oxygen to pass through. • The area round the pond provides plenty of slugs, flies and other insects for the frog to eat. • The frog has a sticky tongue and a wide mouth, so it can catch insects.
