The development and upbringing of a child is a long but exciting process. Not the last role in it is played by small genres of folklore: nursery rhymes, sayings, riddles. Teachers and educators are aware of their importance, and therefore often turn to them. Riddles about frogs, which will be discussed below, are only a small part of what is rich in Russian folklore.
About the benefits of riddles
A riddle is commonly understood as a question asked in allegorical form. Questions relate to everything that surrounds a person. Plants and animals, natural phenomena and household items - all this is reflected in riddles.
This genre of folklore originated in antiquity. However, children's writers often turn to him. The main difference between copyright puzzles and folk is in volume. The essence of oral folk art is that it was stored in the memory of people and transmitted from one person to another. Therefore, folk riddles were supposed to be short.
The writer is spared this restriction. He can create puzzles of a larger volume and indicate several attributes of the subject in the text, and not just one.
The role of the puzzle in the life of young children is extremely high. In addition to the educational function, which allows the baby to instill a love of cultural and literary traditions, as well as their native language, riddles are an excellent means of development. Rhyme, rhythm, speech, objects and their signs, memory and attention - this is only a small part of what the child learns, solving puzzles.
A bit about frogs
Frogs often become heroes of Russian folk tales. The most popular fairy tales in which these representatives of the animal world are mentioned are The Frog Princess and The Teremok. These amphibians are found in fairy tales of other peoples: Abkhazians, Azerbaijanis, Koreans.
Frogs can be found on all continents. The only places on the planet where they cannot be found are the Sahara desert and some areas of the Far North. This is logical because frogs prefer a humid climate. Most representatives of this species live in fresh water. Frogs have a different color, and not just green, as many think. Bright skin color indicates that this frog is poisonous. The uniqueness of these animals and their widespread prevalence is the reason that frog puzzles are very popular.
It is worth noting that some species are threatened with extinction. Man played an important role in this process, since frogs are used by people in the research field, in cooking, and also as pets.
