Bring the wonder of amphibian transformation to life with realistic, hands-on developmental models.
Witness one of nature’s most extraordinary biological journeys up close. This five-piece educational model set accurately illustrates the complete metamorphosis of a frog—from a gelatinous aquatic egg cluster to a fully developed terrestrial adult. Thoughtfully sculpted with tactile details and realistic coloration, each figure offers a durable, visual tool for biology lessons, homeschool study, sensory bins, or a charming educational display on your terrarium shelf.
Key Features & Specifications
- Accurate 5-Stage Progression: Showcases every major morphological milestone: egg cluster (spawn), limbless tadpole, hind-leg tadpole, tailed froglet, and mature adult frog.
- Detailed Sculpting & Paint: Highlights anatomical markers, including individual embryo dots, translucent tail fins, developing limb joints, and textured adult frog skin.
- Durable & Wipe-Clean: Crafted from sturdy, impact-resistant plastic built to withstand handling during classroom presentations, science stations, and hands-on learning.
- Ideal Sensory Scale: Sized comfortably for adult and child hands alike, fitting easily into nature discovery trays, diorama projects, or desktop displays.
- Included Components: 1 Egg Mass, 1 Early Tadpole, 1 Tadpole with Hind Legs, 1 Froglet, 1 Adult Frog.
Developmental Stages & Dimensions
- Stage 1: Egg Mass (Frog Spawn): 4.5 cm × 3.1 cm (1.8" × 1.2") — Demonstrates the protective gelatinous cluster housing developing embryos.
- Stage 2: Early Tadpole: 6.5 cm × 1.5 cm × 1.0 cm (2.6" × 0.6" × 0.4") — Features the streamlined, limbless body and extended fin tailored for swimming.
- Stage 3: Tadpole with Hind Legs: 6.5 cm × 2.7 cm × 1.0 cm (2.6" × 1.1" × 0.4") — Illustrates the emergence of rear limbs as internal organs begin restructuring.
- Stage 4: Froglet (Metamorph): 6.0 cm × 3.5 cm × 2.0 cm (2.4" × 1.4" × 0.8") — Displays full limb development alongside the gradual reabsorption of the tail.
- Stage 5: Mature Adult Frog: 5.0 cm × 5.0 cm × 3.5 cm (2.0" × 2.0" × 1.4") — The completed transition to a tailless, lung-breathing adult with terrestrial posture.
Keeper's Educational Note
Metamorphosis is more than just growing legs—it is a total biological rebuild. Over these five stages, amphibians transition from gill-breathing herbivores with coiled digestive systems into lung-breathing, carnivorous predators equipped to explore both land and water.
