Five Little Speckled Frogs - Felt

The Five Little Speckled Frogs Felt Set brings the classic children's song to life through interactive and vibrant felt characters. This engaging set includes a felt pond, five frogs, and five numbers, encouraging children to participate in counting, singing, and storytelling. The pond measures 64 x 40cm, while each frog measures 10 x 11cm, all supplied on a large felt sheet measuring 69 x 45.5cm. Designed for early years learning, the set supports the development of key language, literacy, and numeracy skills through play. Children can visually subtract frogs from the log as they 'jump' into the pond, reinforcing early subtraction concepts in a tactile and memorable way. Educators can use this resource to encourage rhythmic patterning, rhyming awareness, and expressive storytelling, providing a rich learning experience that combines maths, music, and language arts. This hands-on activity fosters creativity, imagination, and emotional connection to story characters, all while reinforcing foundational learning in an enjoyable format.
