3. Clothespin “Leaping” Frogs
These frogs are kinetic—they actually move!
- The Idea: Use a wooden clothespin as the body. Glue a green cardstock “frog head” to the top clip. When the child squeezes the clothespin, the frog’s mouth opens.
- Skill Focus: Strengthening hand muscles, which is essential for pre-writing skills.
