The following exercise comes from my activity book on toads - Loads of Toads. There are 60 pages of activities for children, all having important information about nature and/or toads. If you'd like one, leave your address - $8.00 plus $2.00 shipping.
This time of year is 'Toad and Frog Singtime' - also known as Spring!!!
You can hear their marvelous choruses by going to a pond or wetland on a spring-time evening and quietly listening. However, if you join in, you may be met with a sudden silence.
A toad's eyes look like jewels, and much toad jewelery has been made over the eons.
Try this at the pond some spring night.
Shine your flashlight across the water and you'll see all sorts of sparkles.
Some of these sparkles may be reflected light from the eyes of toads.
Of course, some sparkles can be for other reasons, which is really fun to discuss if you have the kids with you.
