no!! most Frogs start out as a tadpole, and later, they grow legs and are stable on land. Later on in their little lives, they find a mate, the one that will be perfect, sort of like kissing frogs until they find the perfect prince, but then they lay eggs, in some sort of body of water. And wait. Wait. Wait. They eggs start to develop into tadpoles, as they did, and they all start to grow, become stable, and everything justs goes in a cycle after cycle. It's very fascinating to watch, especially for kids.

Its all genetics. Tadpols are born as a sort of larvae, and then, the same way a human baby grows larger, the tadpole slowly develops legs and loses its tail as well as growing to its full adult frog/toad size.

It takes 3 days to 3 weeks for tadpoles to turn into frogs so there is not actually a age.

No. Although most toads do lay eggs in paired strings that hatch into tadpoles, those species that are within the genus Nectophrynoides lay eggs that hatch directly into miniature toads.
