A frog’s life begins in the water as a tiny egg. Frog eggs are soft and jelly-like, and the mother frog usually lays them in big clumps. Inside each egg is a baby frog, slowly growing and getting ready to hatch.

When the egg hatches, a tiny creature called a larva comes out. This larva is better known as a tadpole. Tadpoles live in the water, have long tails, and breathe through gills—just like fish. They swim around and eat algae which are kind of like tiny plants.

As the tadpole grows, it starts to change. Back legs begin to appear, then front legs too. Its body gets shorter, and it starts to grow lungs to breathe air. This stage is called a froglet.

The tail shrinks more and more, and soon it disappears. The froglet becomes an adult frog! Now it can live on land, breathe with lungs, and hop around using its strong legs.

One day, the adult frog returns to the water to lay eggs—and the amazing life cycle begins all over again.
