August 10, 2017 handmadebase

Are you coming up with new fun for children?Then it will be useful for you to learn how to make a frog out of paper - a funny jumping frog or a frog that opens its mouth in a funny way. You can put together a whole family of toy amphibians using the simple diagrams below. Then have a comic competition to see whose origami frog can jump to the goal the fastest. From a large leaf you will get a real frog princess, and from smaller leaves you will get her wonderful little frogs. All you need is paper, and any felt-tip pen will provide you with the eyes of your animal. The tongue is an original additional application. Shall we begin? Don't worry, our step-by-step instructions will guide you through every step of the process.

Option 1: the simplest manufacturing scheme

Let's start with a very simple diagram. A frog folded according to this pattern is perfect for warming up and for understanding the general principles of the origami technique.Figure 1: Simple Frog Diagram

Option 2: jumping craft

How to make a frog out of paper in a couple of minutes,Figure 2 will show. As you can see, in order for the frog to jump, the folds of the sheet are made according to the principle of a spring, which is given the shape of a funny amphibian. Nothing complicated, even kids can do it. It’s not difficult to make the little frog jump: you need to press your finger on the back of the toy and sharply release it, “sliding” back. However, first things first and in order:Figure 2: Jumping frog

First we will learn how to make a frog from a rectangular leaf slightly narrower in shape. Divide this sheet into 2 equal squares with a middle inflection;
Each of the squares add up so that they form a diagonal markup (see Figure 2), fold the future frog by folding the planes inward, as shown in the diagram;
Bend the free corners "ears" out - this is the beginning of the formation of a spring mechanism, to which the leaping frog will be obliged by its skills;
Turn the workpiece downwards with the front part and form the head part of the toy, bending the upper corners of the part (densely live bends) to itself;
Capturing bottom "foot", together with the main body parts, the workpiece 2 will make a fold, forming the spring back of the jog amphibian;
The jumping frog is folded, all that remains is to draw its eyes and glue the tongue. This way it will become even more interesting - much more realistic and funnier.

Similarly, you can put together such a craft fromsquare sheet of regular shape. Everything here is even simpler than with a rectangular paper blank (see Fig. 2). Use different sizes of paper, thinking about how to make the jumping frog larger or smaller. But a toy that will participate in competitions for the distance or height of jumps must all be made from a sheet of paper of the same size (large frogs jump both higher and further).

Option 3: a funny frog that opens its mouth

Have you folded a wah that jumps?A croaking frog will be no less funny, and it will take no more time than its predecessor. It also needs to be made from a square piece of paper folded into a regular rectangle. Let's take a step-by-step look at how to make a croaking frog. We recommend taking a larger sheet of paper for “rehearsal”, this will make it easier for you to master the folding algorithm. So:

Folded into a rectangle a square sheet (with the edge up, as in Figure 3), bend it according to the scheme, pay attention to the resulting "pockets" in the upper corners of the workpiece;
Next, fold the package in stages, relying on the scheme, systematically bending the corners mainly from the "head" part of the toy;
Having received the form of the billet "house", bend the front planes of the toy. It's already possible to make a toad, and only your acting skills are responsible for the sound production;
Stretching the muzzle of a frog with an opening mouth in different directions as an accordion, you can imitate a talking or even amusing singing amphibian.

Among all the paper characters there is such a frogoccupies a special place. This is not a decorative, but an exclusively playful friend of every child, motivating the director's inventions. Each time the baby will give the paper frog a new role: a marsh tree frog, a funny singer, a talkative “clever girl,” etc. And, of course, making such a toy with your own hands is an excellent practical skill, one of the new stages in understanding the art of origami. Option 4: finished paper frogFigure 4:assemble with glue Don’t understand how to make an origami frog using the described options or don’t want to deal with it? A ready-made paper pattern (Diagram 4) is your easy option for making a funny toy without any difficulty. A fun frog paper craft is a ready-made template that can be printed in any desired size. All that remains is to cut out the parts and assemble them with glue in 1-2 minutes. How to make other animals out of paper, see our “Origami” section. Here are the most interesting paper crafts (original envelopes, elegant roses made of corrugated paper, spring tulips and other flowers, figures of paper equipment, classic crafts like a Japanese crane or a paper swan) so that your paper frog will not get bored. Fold other paper crafts to make your collection even more interesting and varied.
