Step 1.
You will first need to find an old clay pot. Measure the opening at the top. It should be about 20cm wide.
Step 2.
For this step, you may want to get an adult to help. Make a door by very carefully knocking a small section out of the top of the pot. Try to make the part you are knocking out in the shape of a semicircle. Try to get the opening about 8 cm wide and 4 or 5 cm from the top rim of the pot.
Step 3.
Put the pot in a shady spot in your backyard or in your school. You will need to make sure that there is some water around the pot. If there isn't any water, you will need to do the following three steps:
Step 4.
Find a small, plastic bucket. Dig a hole into the ground deep enough so that the plastic bucket can fit in the hole and still be even with the ground. Again, you might want to ask an adult for help!
Step 5.
Put some rocks or a brick in the bottom of the bucket. Try to find rocks or a brick that will almost fill the bucket, leaving 5 cm at the top of the bucket. Fill the bucket with water. This will provide a water source for a toad that lives in this home. Be sure to change the water every few days. We hope that a toad will enjoy the home you have built!
