How to make an origami frog

I’ve chosen to do an origami frog because it is something fun, interesting and new to do for me. I’ve found out how to make it with the following origami website. The instructions are easy to follow and it turns out great. Try making one for yourself! Also I taught my sister how to make it and played around with our camera to take the pictures for this with the best lighting and angles possible. I followed the instructions closely as it was quite easy to understand and it turned out similar to the example shown on the website.

Start with a square piece of paper

Fold corner to corner and top to bottom

Pick one side of the corner and fold it to the corner next to it

Do the same to the other side

Crease paper

Next insert your finger in one of the pockets

Move the pocket around to the front, then flatten and crease it

Perform this move on three pockets…until the paper is in a diamond shape.

Next fold and unfold the corners as shown, to make crease marks

Next fold the paper inwards to make a petal shape

Perform the petal shape fold three more times on the other three faces

Fold the frog base down the centreline

Then fold the lower edges of one layer into the centreline

Now use reverse folds to stretch the back legs

Fold the legs like this

And arms like this

Now you’ll need to blow where the frog’s bottom is, to inflate it.

You can make the frog jump a short distance
