Frogs lay eggs. That’s where new frogs come from. The eggs hatch in one to three weeks.

Then a tadpole hatches from an egg. A tadpole lives in water. It uses gills to breathe. It has no legs.

Next, a tadpole grows into a froglet. A froglet looks more like a frog. It has legs for hopping and walking. It has lungs for breathing air.
