It was Children's Day weekend and we were lucky as JFF opened their "Catch the Frog" pen! All children were invited to hop in and join in a leaping fun while exploring the world of amphibians.
Putting on the gumboots that the farm has provided, the kids had a great time scooping and getting up close with their little friends.
Gladys was a little jittery at first but she overcomes her fears very soon.
It was a slimy encounter.
Soon the children were brave enough to grip the frogs with their bare hands. However, we do need to provide the kids a few tips while handling them.
- Be gentle to the little amphibians
- Hold the frogs with 1 or 2 hands at the waist area.
- Do not to squeeze the frogs too tightly even if they are slipping off from your grip.
- Most importantly, do not to throw or drop the frogs. Instead, gently place them back on the ground.
It was a fun, slimy and close-up encounter with the frogs and we will be sure to check the Jurong Frog Farm news page on what's croaking at the farm. ;)
