How to Make an Origami Jumping Frog from an Index Card

Place a 3" by 5" index card on the table in a portrait orientation (long sides to the left and right).

Fold the top-right corner of the card diagonally (down and left) until the top of the card meets the left side. The result will look like the figure.
Unfold the card.
Fold the top-left corner of the card diagonally (down and right) until the top of the card meets the right side.

Unfold the card. This will result in an X-shape on the upper portion of the card as shown in the figure

Grasp the right and left edges of the card between your thumb and forefinger at the midpoint of the triangles and fold the two sides inward (your thumbs will touch).

As the top portion of the card folds inward, press it the rest of the way down. The card should resemble a house


Grasp the right corner of the resulting triangle and fold the "wing"upward to the top corner of the triangle.

Fold the left "wing" upward to the top corner of the triangle as well

Fold the right edge of the "house" into the middle so that the right edge meets the vertical center line.

Fold the left edge of the "house" into the middle so that the left edge meets the vertical center line


Fold the bottom of the card up to meet the top and then back again to meet the new fold at the bottom.

Turn the frog over; it should open up a bit.

Using the tip of your index finger, press the back of the frog down slightly and release; the frog will jump. we colored them too.something simple and fun kids loved it enjoy.
