First you need a sheet of paper , any colour you want your frog to be .
-
I used a namecard to get the exact size I want .
The exact measurement : 9cm by 5cm . -
Fold one corner diagonally down to the opposite edge, so it will make an X shape out of the creases when you unfold it .
Then open it .
Repeat with the other corner . -
Cut off the extra paper outside of the square you just made . ( as shown in picture ).
-
Open the square back up and fold it in the centre . ( as shown in picture ).
Then press it down . -
& it'll be a triangle like this .
-
Fold the outside corner up to the top point . Repeat step with the other side .
-
Fold the new corner in , towards the center line . Again , repeat with other side .
-
Fold the top corners back out . It'll be even with the edge underneath . Repeat with the other side ( yes , I know . Again! ).
-
It'll look like this .
Then flip it over . -
Fold the outer corners towards into the center .
-
This is what both sides done looks like .
-
Fold the outer corners back out , so that they're even with the outside edges .
-
This is what it'll look like .
Those red lines there , are there as guides .
Fold the frog in half .
Then follow the dotted line and fold again , make sure the legs are facing outwards . ( Like they should! ) -
& your done! :D
( Mine was folded in a hurry for the tutorial purpose , so forgive me for the frog being crooked ) -
This is the side view .
-
You may have to squeeze it a little so it stands up properly & will be able to hop .
-
See the red dot? That's where you press & it'll hop (:
-
I added googly animal eyes to mine .
-
& so it looks like this! :D
( This one I made for a friend , since she likes pink )
Side view (: -
& we're done! :D
Front view .

Try pressing it ( squishing it ) sideways gently . So it'll hop better ( also , the smaller the froggy the further it leaps :D )
