I thought tadpoles made frogs, but then if you are right whats a baby toad, and I thought toads didnt hang out in water. I gotta go google:

http://allaboutfrogs.org/weird/general/cycle.html this is tadpoles.

Now for pollywogs: PolŽly`wog
Noun 1. pollywog - a larval frog or toad
polliwog, tadpole
Amphibia, class Amphibia - frogs; toads; newts; salamanders; caecilians
larva - the immature free-living form of most invertebrates and amphibians and fish which at hatching from the egg is fundamentally unlike its parent and must metamorphose

When I was a little girl we used both terms never questioning a difference, or if there even was one. Nice to learn a bit of new information that is not earth shattering, but just interesting to know.
