amphibian quiz
Hey frog fans!
We've made a quiz for you to celebrate the spawning of a new generation of the gardeners mate. Whether you are a tadpole yourself or indeed a warty old toad, have a go to see if you can sort out the amphibious myth from the froggy facts.
You stand (or swim!) to win a couple of amphibious prizes, a loveable inflatable pool shark (or land shark if you want to keep it in your room) and an underwater camera for even more pool fun.
Ready?
