Since the history behind Leap Day is all Gregorian calendars and Julian reform (???), we are keeping it simple and sticking with FROGS!
Here are a few ideas that I am tossing around for Wednesday's festivities...
1) Teach them the game of Leap Frog (...or at least attempt it) or let them LEAP and measure how far they jump (- throwing some math in there.)
2) Play a few rounds of "Tic Tac Toad" (I saw this while I was browsing and cannot find the link again, but you cut out some paper frogs in two different colors to use as markers - my boy loves tic tac toe.)
3) Most definitely make this Fruity Frog (from FamilyFun) - Granny Smith apples, grapes, cream cheese, and chocolate chips. How cute is that?
4) Break out the Froggy books, of course! Froggy Plays T-Ball is always good for a laugh.
Last, but not least...my kids will LOVE this one...
5) Have a sLEAP-over in the living room! The kids love when we all camp out together (and we haven't done it in awhile) so I'm sure they'll be excited about this, especially since Leap Day is on a school night.
*Have anything fun planned for your extra day?
Fun! I forgot about leapday this year. I will have to plan something fun with th kiddos.
