Frogs and Toads

Can you help the frogs and toads get to the other side of the pond?
Frogs and Toads
There are seven rocks in a quarry with some frogs and toads on them As you can see below, there are three frogs on the left, three toads on the right, and an empty rock in the middle.
They would like to swap positions (toads on the left and frogs on the right). To do so, the frogs and toads take turns moving one at a time in one of two different ways. Each turn, one frog or one toad can either: Move one space forward onto an empty rock Jump over one other animal onto an OR empty rock.
