Frogs are Stella’s favorite because they live right where adventure happens—along creeks and ponds. She loves gently catching them, learning about their habitats, and watching them hop away. Frogs remind her that even the smallest animals are important and deserve healthy places to live.
“My favorite thing to do outside is explore creeks and look for frogs. I like lifting rocks and wading in the water to see what animals are there. Frogs are my favorite because they hop so fast and live near the water. I always put them back where I found them so they can stay safe. Being outside makes me feel like a nature explorer!”
