Follow the Leader Use a full-length mirror to play a "can you do what I do?" game. Use big and small motions from faces to toes. Demo a sequence of two motions - pat your head and then your tummy. Can your child remember two motions? How about three?
About Frogs Talk to your child about frogs. Gather any pictures of frogs that you can find (books around the house, on clothing, etc.) Explain that frogs are often green in color, they make the "ribbit" sound, they jump/hop, and they eat delicious bugs! For a bonus, visit a local pet store that carries frogs.

Five Little Tadpoles Five little tadpoles swimming near the shore. The first one said, “Let’s swim some more.” The second one said, “Let’s rest awhile.” The third one said, “Swimming makes me smile.” The fourth one said, “My legs are growing long.” The fifth one said, “I’m getting very strong.” Five little tadpoles will soon be frogs. They’ll jump from the water and sit on logs.
I Have a Little Frog I have a little frog His name is Tiny Tim, I put him in the bathtub, To see if he could swim, He drank up all the water, And gobbled up the soap! He tried to eat the bathtub But it wouldn't go down his throat!
