A life cycle of a frog First a females frog lays about 100 eggs!

Next, Did you know that some times it takes 7 weeks to be hatched!

Next a baby tadpole forms in the egg.

After it wriggles its way out it grows gills and starts to be active.

Then it grows its back legs and front legs.

Last its tail starts to shrink and now it’s a frog.
