Origami Jumping Frog Legs

Video Transcript

"Now for the base, the hind leg of the frog, we are going to take this edge and fold it up to the middle. Taking this edge, we are going to fold it like this, so that it meets up with the center crease. Now here the paper may become quite thick, just be persistent and fold that edge in. Fold this edge into the center as well. Now for this square, we are going to do a kind of a windmill fold. Windmill base by folding this edge up to the center. And, folding this triangle back down, to get a guiding crease, for our windmill base. Fold this triangle down, like this. For our guiding crease, open it back up, open it back up this way. And, taking these triangles, that we just made, we are going to do kind of a windmill base fold by pinching out these triangles, and then flattened them down. Fold these triangles back down, fold them back down and then fold them at an angle, out. Fold this at an angle, out. Now you have the hind legs of your frog. Now fold the frog completely in half, like this. And, then do a complete fold with the bottom. And, here the paper will be thick, but, that's what helps the frog jump. Fold it back down, so that this edge is aligned with the bottom edge, and you have your completed frog. Turn it over and watch it jump."
