You Will Need (3 things)

  • Coloured Paper
  • Scissors
  • Animal Googly Wiggly Eyes

Steps (21 steps, 15 minutes)

  1. 1

    First you need a sheet of paper , any colour you want your frog to be .

  2. 2

    I used a namecard to get the exact size I want .

    The exact measurement : 9cm by 5cm .

  3. 3

    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 .

  4. 4

    Cut off the extra paper outside of the square you just made . ( as shown in picture ).

  5. 5

    Open the square back up and fold it in the centre . ( as shown in picture ).

    Then press it down .

  6. 6

    & it'll be a triangle like this .

  7. 7

    Fold the outside corner up to the top point . Repeat step with the other side .

  8. 8

    Fold the new corner in , towards the center line . Again , repeat with other side .

  9. 9

    Fold the top corners back out . It'll be even with the edge underneath . Repeat with the other side ( yes , I know . Again! ).

  10. 10

    It'll look like this .

    Then flip it over .

  11. 11

    Fold the outer corners towards into the center .

  12. 12

    This is what both sides done looks like .

  13. 13

    Fold the outer corners back out , so that they're even with the outside edges .

  14. 14

    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! )

  15. 15

    & your done! :D

    ( Mine was folded in a hurry for the tutorial purpose , so forgive me for the frog being crooked )

  16. 16

    This is the side view .

  17. 17

    You may have to squeeze it a little so it stands up properly & will be able to hop .

  18. 18

    See the red dot? That's where you press & it'll hop (:

  19. 19

    I added googly animal eyes to mine .

  20. 20

    & so it looks like this! :D

    ( This one I made for a friend , since she likes pink )
