Lily pad hop
Ribbit, ribbit, jump! Hop like a frog from lily pad to lily pad.
*Illustrative age guidance. Your child's development and circumstances matter more than a number.
A tiny plan for your day
Estimated time: 3 min to set up · 6 min to hop · 1 min to tidy. It's fine to stop early.
Before you start
What you’ll need
- Big leaves, chalk circles or carpet squares as "lily pads"
- A soft, grassy patch
Let's begin
Five simple steps
That's the whole activity. Tick each step off as you go, and stop whenever you like.
Lay out a line of lily pads, a little jump apart.
Crouch down like a frog.
Jump from pad to pad without touching the "water".
Croak each time you land!
Make it trickier by spreading the pads further apart.
All done!
That's every step. However it went, you made a little moment together.
