Resources

Coloured paper measuring 15x9cm
Googly eyes (optional)

Instructions

1. Fold the rectangle in half vertically and then unfold. Bring the top right corner down to the left diagonally and unfold.
2. Bring the top left corner down to the right diagonally and unfold. Then turn the paper over.
3. Fold the top of the rectangle down where the diagonal folds meet, unfold, and turn the paper over again.
4. Bring the sides to the centre, so they meet each other (this is called a squash fold). Then flatten the top of your rectangle to make a triangle.
5. Fold the two corners of the triangle up to the top point of triangle. Fold the left side of the paper towards the centre and repeat with the right side.
6. Fold the two flaps at the top of the triangle in half so they point out (as shown in picture). Fold the bottom of the paper up to the top corner of the triangle, then fold the paper down to the bottom edge. Turn the whole thing over to reveal your jumping frog and finish by sticking on some googly eyes or drawing your own with felt tip pen.
