JUMPING FROG

This is an amazing paper toy. It needs a special size of rectangular paper where the length is double the width. The frog has a special spring folded from the paper itself. When you press the spring it makes the frog leap and jump.

1. Take a 10 cm x 20 cm rectangular sheet of paper. Fold two squares in it

2. Fold criss-cross diagonals in both the squares. All the four creases should be in the same direction.

3. Reverse the paper. It will look like two hillocks. Fold the edges of the hills to the midline.

4. Reverse the paper. Tap the centres of both squares to get two cups. Push to make a triangle.

5. Repeat the same for the right side.

6. Bring all the four standing triangular ears to the left and right hand side corners and crease.

7. Bisect the internal angles to make the legs jut out.

8. The model when reversed looks like a tortoise. Crease its backbone.

9. Crease the left and right hand edges of the diamond shape to the backbone.

10. Fold the base triangle upwards, and insert the left flap in the pocket of the triangle to make a lock.

11. Similarly, lock the right flap.

12. Make a Z shaped spring by first folding the frog backwards and then forwards.

13. Press the spring to make the frog jump and leap.
