📘 How a Frog Grows
The life cycle of a frog begins with an egg. In the spring, a mother frog lays her eggs.
She lays these eggs, sometimes up to 4,000, in ponds.
After about 10 days, a tadpole comes out of each egg.
Tadpoles have long tails and look a little like small fish.
They swim around in the water and eat plants in the pond.
But tadpoles don’t look like fish for long.
After about six weeks, they start growing back legs.
Their tails get smaller and their legs get bigger.
Then, front legs appear.
The tadpoles slowly turn into adult frogs.
This cycle finishes after about 14 weeks when the tadpole finally becomes a young frog.
