That being said, if you’re looking to make a frog that will jump an impressive distance, use thicker paper-your frog will be more difficult to fold and may not look as neat, but it will have a lot more bounce in its hind legs. For a smoother process and a neater looking frog, use origami paper-it’s slightly thinner than printer paper and easier to fold. This origami frog involves folding the paper on top of itself multiple times, and the more times you fold, the harder it gets. To make the frog jump, push down on its low back and release-the folds of the hind legs will act as springs and propel your frog forward. Lastly, fold the edges of the hind legs slightly to make the feet. Step 12īring the right hind leg downwards along the new crease. Press down firmly to strengthen the new creases. The sides will naturally fall inwards, as well. Keeping the hind legs pointing outwards, bring the bottom edge to the middle of the frog.
Gently squeeze each corner so that the bottom and the side edges come together to form a triangle. You’ll notice a square in each of the bottom corners of your frog. Unfold the frog so that it looks like it did at the end of Step 7. Take the new bottom edge and fold it up to the center of the frog, where the front legs come together. You’ll need to lift up the frog’s front legs slightly to make sure you’re folding in the right place. Now fold what are going to be the frog’s legs down along dotted line (Diagram B).Ĭongratulations, your frog is complete! To make your frog jump, lay it on a flat surface like a table, and push down near the end of it, where the X is marked on the diagram below.Take the right edge and fold it to meet the center of the frog. Fold your frog in half along the dotted line like the diagram below.ġ0.Turn your frog over so that the other side is facing you (diagram A). Do the same thing on the left side so it resembles diagram C.ĩ. Now fold it outwards along the gray line in diagram A, so that your right side looks like diagram B. Next fold along the diagonal crease in diagram B (do the same thing on the left side – diagram C) so it looks like diagram D.Ĩ. Turn your piece of paper over so the other side now faces you like diagram A. Do the same on the left side so your paper looks like the diagram below.ħ. Now fold the top corner, marked E, outwards so it looks like this:Ħ.
Do exactly the same for the other side, so that your paper now matches diagram C.ĥ. Next, fold along the dotted line in diagram A, so that your paper looks like the diagram B. You should have something that resembles the third diagram below.Ĥ. Do the same thing on the other corner (remember to fold the top layer only). Take the paper at point A (which is only the top layer of the paper) and fold along the dotted line so that point A meets point B. You want your completed fold to end up as a triangle.ģ. Start to push on points C and D, at the same time folding the top edge of the paper down until it meets the bottom edge of the paper. Fold it so that the creases match the diagram below.Ģ. Start with a square piece of paper no smaller than 8.5” x 8.5”. Instructions and diagrams are from the following website: ġ.
