Description

This was made with a piece of square paper that i got in maths when we did a times table grid. Every time i get these i make frogs and play with them when i should be working, last time i make something like 4 and my teacher put them all in the bin!! We were so annoyed!!

Instructions

  1. Small p5130030 1275151815

    First get your piece of paper. sorry that mine is creased, it was the only piece i could get in lesson. Square pieces work best. This was kinda like thin card, thick card as normal paper doesn't really make them jump.

  2. Small p5130032 1275151913

    Fold it in half.

  3. Small p5130033 1275151910

    Fold the corner down so that the fines are parallel, if that makes sense.

  4. Small p5130034 1275152008

    Do the same with the other corner.

  5. Small p5130035 1275152050

    Fold the top part down so that the lines that you have just made are parallel with the lines on the side you are folding down.<-- i made that sound really confusing!

  6. Small p5130036 1275152389

    Confusing! Push the two sides in so that it looks like the picture. I didn't know how else to say it!

  7. Small p5130037 1275152498

    Push it down and it should look like the picture.

  8. Small p5130038 1275152601

    Get one of the corner and fold it the top.

  9. Small p5130039 1275152923

    Do the same to the other side. Now it should look like the head of the frog.

  10. Small p5130040 1275153028

    How it should look at the moment.

  11. Small p5130041 1275153057

    Fold the side in so that it fits in with the feet. The lines should meet.

  12. Small p5130042 1275153217

    Do the same with the other side.

  13. Small p5130043 1275153325

    Nearly there! Fold the bottom part of the paper to meet the nose. Crease it.

  14. Small p5130044 1275153440

    Then fold the paper back on itself to make the legs!

  15. Small p5130049 1275153583

    And there you go, a frog! Hold down back of the frog to make it jump....

  16. Small p5130050 1275153663
