Lay your piece of card on the table. Put your straw into the bubble pot, and now hold the pot over the card. Blow hard into the straw. Your bubbles will start to over- flow and land on the card. Keep going until you have lots of bubbles on your card. Now leave the bubbles to pop, and when they have all gone you will have a cool bubbly effect left on the piece of card. When the card is completely dry, finish your frogspawn by using a paintbrush to add small dots inside the bubbles!

Frogspawn is the name given to the clump of eggs laid by frogs. Frogs will usually mate in the spring, depending on the weather, with the female laying eggs that the male will then fertilise. A female frog can lay up to 4,000 eggs at a time, although many of them will not survive to turn into frogs!
The jelly around the eggs will swell up in the water over time. It acts like a sort of cushion and it brings the developing frogs on top of the water as it starts to float. The eggs then catch all the available sun- light to keep warm.
After a period of a few weeks, the tadpoles (baby frogs) will come out of the frogspawn and then change into frogs. This process involves the tadpole gradually losing its tail, growing its distinctive long rear legs and developing lungs to replace its gills.
Their physical make-up means it’s easy for them to jump around on land, and their legs are perfectly designed for swimming and moving in the water.
