Gummy Frogs
“If a person is born on February 29th, can they only celebrate their birthday every 4 years?” This was a question from my niece as we put together the Leap Year goodie bags they will be using in their pre K. class as a teaching aid. “Great question, I guess they could celebrate on February 28th or March 1st…” I don’t think she heard my response; she was too busy eating concentrating on our project.
The Project
We used the almost too adorable to eat gummy frogs from www.bulkcandystore.com. Since frogs leap or hop, I figured that they would be the perfect visual for a Leap day lesson or celebration.
Here is what I did; I placed 6 gummy frogs in a small plastic bag. Then, I tied the top of the bag with a piece of ribbon and attached a Hoppy Leap Year tag – super simple!
Happy Leap Day!
I have included a free printable of the tags below – to download – click on the image to open up the larger version, and then right click to save or print.

Let’s do this again in four years.
We are working on TWO very important things at the moment!
