Bring your feet hip-distance apart in mountain pose.
Bend your knees deeply and lower your hips toward the Earth in a squatting position.
Bring your hands down in front of you.

Have Fun!

Hop from lily pad to lily pad or over a yoga mat or large scarf, pausing in your frog pose squat between each jump.
