Why Kids Love Poison Dart Frogs
Poison dart frogs may be tiny, but they are some of the brightest animals in the rainforest. Their bold colors of blue, yellow, orange, green, and red help warn predators to stay away. These little amphibians live in the warm, humid rainforests of Central and South America and spend much of their time near plants, leaves, and small pools of water. Their bright colors act as a warning that they can be poisonous in the wild.
Young children are naturally fascinated by unusual animals, making poison dart frogs a memorable way to introduce the letter P.
