  Step 1

  First you need a sheet of paper , any colour you want your frog to be .

• 

  Step 2

  I used a namecard to get the exact size I want .

  The exact measurement : 9cm by 5cm .

• 

  Step 3

  Fold one corner diagonally down to the opposite edge, so it will make an X shape out of the creases when you unfold it .

  Then open it .

  Repeat with the other corner .

• 

  Step 4

  Cut off the extra paper outside of the square you just made . ( as shown in picture ).

• 

  Step 5

  Open the square back up and fold it in the centre . ( as shown in picture ).

  Then press it down .

• 

  Step 6

  & it'll be a triangle like this .

• 

  Step 7

  Fold the outside corner up to the top point . Repeat step with the other side .

• 

  Step 8

  Fold the new corner in , towards the center line . Again , repeat with other side .

• 

  Step 9

  Fold the top corners back out . It'll be even with the edge underneath . Repeat with the other side ( yes , I know . Again! ).

• 

  Step 10

  It'll look like this .

  Then flip it over .

• 

  Step 11

  Fold the outer corners towards into the center .

• 

  Step 12

  This is what both sides done looks like .

• 

  Step 13

  Fold the outer corners back out , so that they're even with the outside edges .

• 

  Step 14

  This is what it'll look like .

  Those red lines there , are there as guides .

  Fold the frog in half .

  Then follow the dotted line and fold again , make sure the legs are facing outwards . ( Like they should! )

• 

  Step 15

  & your done! :D

  ( Mine was folded in a hurry for the tutorial purpose , so forgive me for the frog being crooked )

• 

  Step 16

  This is the side view .

• 

  Step 17

  You may have to squeeze it a little so it stands up properly & will be able to hop .

• 

  Step 18

  See the red dot? That's where you press & it'll hop (:

• 

  Step 19

  I added googly animal eyes to mine .

• 

  Step 20

  & so it looks like this! :D

  ( This one I made for a friend , since she likes pink )

  Side view (:

• 

  Step 21

  & we're done! :D

  Front view .

Try pressing it ( squishing it ) sideways gently . So it'll hop better ( also , the smaller the froggy the further it leaps )
