Are you looking for some simple, printable activities to enjoy with your little ones while learning about ponds and frogs? This FREE Pond Life Activity Pack is perfect for spring or summer – whether you’re heading out pond dipping, raising tadpoles, or just exploring nature together. With a mix of colouring, sorting, patterning, and early literacy activities, it’s a lovely way to encourage learning through play with a pond theme. So, here it is, our FREE Pond Life Activity Pack for Preschoolers!

Preschool Pond Life Activity Pack
Ponds have always been a big hit in our house, especially during spring nature walks. From the time my two were tiny, we’ve raised tadpoles, peeked at pond plankton under the microscope, and spent many (many!) hours with a net in hand, pond dipping to see what we could find.

This printable pack is a great companion to those kinds of real-world adventures, perfect to use as a little follow-up or to get your preschooler excited about what they might discover.

What’s Included in the Pond Life Printables
This set includes 7 easy-to-use printable activity sheets. Each one features familiar creatures your preschooler might spot around the pond, from our favourite frogs to dragonflies, fish, and more.
It’s designed to touch on early maths, science, and literacy skills, while still keeping things fun and developmentally appropriate.

Frog Life Cycle Cut and Stick Activity
A hands-on way to explore one of nature’s most fascinating transformations!
Match the stages of the frog’s life cycle — great alongside our Frog Life Cycle Memory Game or Flip Book.
Pond Creatures Cut and Stick Activity
It’s not just frogs! Match and colour other pond animals and place them where they belong.
Pond and Non Pond Creature Sort
Help your little one sort animals based on where they live.
This simple classification activity supports early science and maths skills.
Pond Patterns
Practice spotting patterns and completing sequences using cut-and-stick illustrations of pond animals — a lovely follow-up to the sorting activity.

Tip: Laminate and leave out with a whiteboard marker for easy pick-up-and-practice fun.
