In December of 2012 we ordered bullfrog tadpoles as a way to expose my young children to science.
This Bullfrog Tadpole Main Page is the gateway to what we've learned so far and all the the materials that we've developed through our home life science explorations.
Our FREE bullfrog resources include information on:
Bullfrog Tadpole Resources from Kid Science SPO
Everything you need to know to find, house and feed bullfrog tadpoles.
