6. DIY “Toad Abode” (Frog House)

Toads are great garden helpers because they eat pests. By decorating a ceramic pot and turning it upside down, kids can create a cool, damp home for a garden frog.

  • Materials: Small terra cotta pot, outdoor paint, a few flat rocks.
  • Steps:
    • Paint the outside of the pot with “bug” patterns or flowers.
    • Place it in a shady spot in the garden.
    • Prop one side up with a rock to create a “doorway” for the toad.
