How To Make A Jumping Frog

Hello readers! Today I'm going to be showing you how to make a jumping frog out of card. It's very fun and simple to make but it takes practice to make the frog jump well. For some reason, my frog, Bernard, always lands on his face.

 

 

 

 

How To Make A Jumping Frog

 

Step 1) Cut out a rectangle from a piece of card/cereal box that is 8cm x 5cm.

 

 

Step 2) Fold the corners on one side over themselves to make a cross on the rectangle like this.

 

 

Then fold over where the two lines meet to look like this.

 

 





Step 3) This is a fun part. Using your finger, push down the centre of star - this should pop it inside out.

 

 

 

 

Step 4) Refold the creases, push the ends of the middle line inwards, then push the corners with lines coming off them over from the middle line. It should look like this.

 

 

Step 5) As you can see, our frog is starting to look more like a frog. Fold up the bottoms of the triangle to look a bit like a sensei hat.

 

 

Step 6) Fold the 2 edges in to the centre to look like this.

Step 7) Fold the middle inward and a quarter of the way down from that outward to make a Z. If you're feeling creative, give it eyes and other features.

 

 

This is Bernard in action. Enjoy!
