Could someone help me translate this, I have tried to use an online translation programme but it does not make sense.

la grenouille veut gober la libellule posée sur le dernier nénuphar. elle ne peut sauter que de pierre en nénuphar et de nénuphar en pierre et jamias en diagonale.
colorie les pierres et les nénuphars qu'elle devra visiter

This is what the online translation came up with:

the frog wants gober the dragonfly posed on the last water lily. it can jump only of stone in water lily and water lily out of stone and never in diagonal. color the stones and the water lilies qu' it will have to visit

TIA

It's saying that the frog can only jump from water lily to stone or stone to water lily and never diagonally to get to the dragonfly. Colour in the path it'll have to take to reach the dragonfly.

Or do you need a literal translation?

That does make sense, thanks. It looked like he was only allowed to go from rock to rock but then he would not get there. If he is allowed to use the waterlilies, then it is ok.

I have another question.

She has to draw "Emile se mouche" "Emile sourit" and "Emile se lave"

The last one is Emile washing himself? And the others?

And "Emile se fâche" is angry Emile?

At least I am learning French too.

sourire is smile (if my twenty year old O level French serves me well )

Emile se mouche = Emile is blowing his nose
Emile sourit = Emile is smiling
Emile se fâche = Emile is getting angry

Thank you so much for your replies.

We recently relocated to Switzerland, the French speaking part, and our DC go to the local school. DD has homework every week, she is 6yo and in her first year of formal schooling here.

Most weeks I can figure it out, but sometimes I cannot. That is when I can be found wailing on MN and asking for help. I am learning French, but it will be a while before I am able to translate everything. Until then, I rely on online translation programmes and the wonder of MN.
