Celebrate with your preschoolers with a hoppin’ happy FROG (Fully Rely On God) festival! As you play the games and eat the snacks, remind kids to fully rely on God!

FROG Festival for Preschoolers

Create Froggy Faces

You’ll need:

• green foam visors
• large googly eyes
• green pompoms

Give kids freedom to decorate their visors using the craft supplies. Encourage them to make their visors look like frogs.

Make Lily Pad Cookies

Let kids decorate round or oblong cookies with green icing and gumdrop frogs.

Drink Pond Scum Punch

You’ll need:

• 2 liters of ginger ale
• large container of frozen lemonade
• large can of pineapple juice
• 1 quart of lime sherbet
• bowl
• spoon
• ice

This ooey gooey green punch will delight your preschoolers. Stir all the ingredients together, and serve on ice.

Design Frog Rocks

You’ll need:

• paint
• glue
• googly eyes
• red yarn or ribbon

Let kids go outside to gather rocks that they’ll transform into frogs. Let them use the craft supplies to create any frog they want. The yarn or ribbon can be used to make a frog tongue.

Stick the Tongue on the Frog

You’ll need:

• paper frog picture
• tape
• bandanna or blindfold
• sticky hand vinyl toys (one for each child)

This version of Pin the Tail on the Donkey is great for preschoolers. Place the paper frog picture to the wall. Blindfold kids, and let them try to place the sticky hands on the frog—pretending they’re tongues for the frog.

Flick the Frog on the Lily Pad

You’ll need:

• plastic swimming pool
• 8 1/2 x 11 pieces of craft foam
• plastic frogs toys

This hilarious game is just right for preschoolers. Fill a plastic swimming pool with water. Then cut lily pad shapes from the craft foam, and place them on the water. Have kids toss plastic frog toys onto the lily pads. This will require adult supervision.

Frog-Shape Cake

You’ll need:

• regular cake mix
• large, oven-proof bowl
• green icing
• marshmallows
• green gumdrops
• red licorice strips

Cap your froggy event with a frog cake. Bake your cake in the bowl to make a round shape. Once the rounded cake is cooled, decorate it with green icing. Use large marshmallows to create the eyes, green gumdrops for warts, and red licorice strips for the tongue.
