How to play

Frog jumps18 to 24 months · about 4 minutes

You need: nothing at all.

  1. Squat down like a frog and say "Ribbit!"
  2. Jump up a tiny bit, or just bounce on your toes.
  3. Ask your toddler to be a frog too.
  4. Let a big brother or sister lead the frogs around the room.

Builds: moving and using hands. Squatting and bouncing build leg strength on the way to real jumping.
