How To Fold A Jumping Frog

1. Position the rectangle with the shorter edges horizontal. At the top end of the rectangle, form a Waterbomb base.

2. Fold each of the sharp points upward and outward, each crease beginning from the centre line, but so that there is a gap between the head and each of the front legs when the step is completed.

3. Fold the vertical outer edges in to lie along the centre line. This will align with the point where the legs join.

4. Fold the lower edge upward as far as it will go comfortably (with stiff card this is as far as the inner layers will allow).

5. Fold the upper edge back down towards you, to the lower folded edge, creating a pleat in the material,which will be the springy hind legs.

6. The completed Jumping Frog. Make him jump by placing your index finger on his back, pressing down as you then "stroke" the card to the rear of the model. You will be surprised at how far the frog will spring.
