Frog Bellies
Frog Bellies
I wonder how many people are out there teaching the younger generations about Frog Bellies?
My mother taught us when we were very young. First you pull a leaf off of the Frog Belly plant. After that, you carefully pinch the leaf until it looks “wet.” Once you finish this step, you make a small tear at the base of the leaf and then put it up to your mouth and blow into it. It may take a few tries or more pinching of the leaf.

You have to wonder – who originally thought of doing this . . . and how many years ago?
Enjoy the rest of the summer!

I may be a little eccentric – but I would never put a gross caterpillar in my mouth 🙂
