Parts Of A Frog (Amphibians)
Made by Nienhuis Montessori · shipped by Heutink International (Netherlands) About the maker
Parts of a frog, the amphibian card set. An amphibian is the animal that lives two lives, and the parts named on these cards belong to the second one: legs where there was a tail, lungs where there were gills. A child who has watched a pond in spring has the evidence already and needs the words to hold it. Real photograph, control chart and labels. Durable plastic with rounded corners. In English.
“The hands are the instruments of man's intelligence.”
The Parts of a Frog nomenclature cards fulfill the young child's need to classify and name the world around them.
- Identify and name 8-10 specific parts of frog anatomy
- Match written labels to corresponding body parts independently
- Build scientific vocabulary through hands-on card manipulation
- Develop visual discrimination between similar anatomical features

These laminated cards with their precise illustrations of frog anatomy allow children to isolate each body part - the webbed feet, bulging eyes, or smooth skin - matching picture to label through repeated handling. The three-part card format (picture with label, picture alone, and separate label) creates a self-correcting system where children can verify their own work by comparing cards. This zoology material bridges the child's fascination with living creatures and their developing language skills, as each anatomical term like 'tympanum' or 'nostril' enriches vocabulary while satisfying curiosity about how amphibians are built. The removable labels transform abstract body parts into concrete concepts children can manipulate, arrange, and master at their own pace.
