** How to Make an Origami Frog **

** Have a piece of rectangular paper. **

** Fold it in half, and open out again. **

** Fold both top corners to the opposite edge of the paper then unfold. **

** Where the diagonal creases meet in the middle, fold the paper backwards, crease well and open. **

** Hold the paper at the sides, bring these points down to the center line, then flatten. The creases should do most of the work here! **

** Fold the uppermost triangles up to the top point. **

** Fold sides in to the center line. **

** Fold bottom of model upwards so the end sits in the center of the top diamond. **

** Now fold the same part downwards, in half. **

** Turn over. Your Jumping Frog is finished! **
