Frog Life Cycle Diagram Puzzle

Cut out the pieces and mix them up. Then match the labels with the pictures and put them in the correct order.

Stage 1—Egg Tiny frog eggs are laid in masses in the water by a female frog. The eggs hatch into tadpoles.	Stage 2—Tadpole Tadpoles are also called pollywogs. This stage hatches from the egg. The tadpole spends its time swimming in the water, eating, and growing. Tadpoles breathe using gills, and they have tails.	Stage 3—Tadpole with Legs In this stage, the tadpole sprouts legs (and then arms), has a longer body, and has a more distinct head. It still breathes using gills and has a tail.	Stage 4—Froglet In this stage, the almost mature frog breathes with lungs and still has some of its tail.	Stage 5—Adult Frog The adult frog breathes with lungs and has no tail because it has been absorbed by the body.
