Because this paper frog jumps, its a great hit with children. You just require a rectangle
which is 20 cm long and 10 cm wide. Now first fold two equal squares in this rectangle and
then fold criss crosses. Ensure that all the four criss cross lines are in the same direction.
Now take this paper and turn it. Then shut the two small doors, bring them to the middle
line. It is little like a cupboard fold. And now, upturn it and fold two big triangles.
These are the two big triangles and fold these triangles into half to make small triangles.
Essentially you will get four small triangles. These are right angle triangles. And you bisect
them to make the frog legs. And this way you will get four frog legs. Two for the front
and two for the rear. Upturn the frog and fold along the midline to make the back bone.
And now fold the two triangles to make the triangular head of the frog. Fold the bottom
portion. You can see there are two small pockets. Insert these flaps in the pockets. It will
like a little lock. You can flatten it but the frog will not jump in this state. Now
you need to fold it in z shape spring. This z shape spring is the one which is going to
make the frog jump. Now upturn this and you can see this z shape spring and to make the
frog look very real apply some glue and stick two eyes. This will add character to this
frog. The frog is ready now. And you can see its z shape spring. Now just press the spring
and release it and frog will jump forward. It is a great delight to see the frog jump.
And now, its much fun to make it jump into a little well. Four children can sit around
a little cup and everyone gets turn to make the frog jump into the well. It is a very
challanging game which the children can make themselves.
