"Jumping Frog", origami technique,a craft familiar to everyone from childhood, but not everyone knows how to make it. The process itself does not take much time and is accessible even to children. For ease of execution, we offer a detailed description of making a frog or even a whole family. "Jumping frog" is not just a name. It really can jump if you press it slightly from behind. To make it, we only need a sheet of any paper (multicolored, printer, special paper intended for origami) of a square shape. If the paper is in the form of a rectangle, it is necessary to give it a square shape, cutting off the excess with scissors. In real origami, only paper is used for work and cutting and tearing of material is not allowed."Jumping Frog" techniqueorigami, description of work. Place the prepared material on a hard surface (flat) in front of you. Fold the upper corners towards the center of the sheet. Take the corner, the upper right one, and fold it diagonally so that the top is on the other edge of the paper (complete coincidence). Bend well and unfold. Do the same with the upper left corner. You will get two folds in the shape of an "X". Next, fold the sheet in half. In this case, the two upper corners should completely coincide with the two lower corners. Fix the resulting fold and unfold. Visually, the outlines of our folds will resemble something like an asterisk or an asterix. Squeeze the edges of the material inward. To do this, place the sheet with the bottom edge towards you. Bend the edges along the existing folds so that the paper is folded with two sides in the shape of a triangle. For simplicity, the horizontal fold can be re-bent in the opposite direction. We turn the figure so that the longer side is directed towards us. On this side you can see corners, two on each side. We take the corners one by one (only the upper ones), first on the right, then on the left, and bend them upwards. In this case, the corner should touch the top of our triangle and form a fold. As a result, we will get a triangular figure with a rhombus in the middle. We take the corner of the rhombus (the right one) and fold it into the middle so that its right edge and the central line completely coincide. We bend the second corner of the rhombus in the same way. Now we proceed to forming the legs of the "hopper". We bend the right part of the top of the triangle, located under the rhombus, outward, towards the right part of the triangle. It should completely coincide with the right part of our rhombus. We do the same with the left part (it should coincide with the left part of the same rhombus). We turn the resulting figure over and give shape to the top of our "jumping frog". We bend the lower corners alternately (right and left) so that the edges coincide with the line in the center, as a result of which we get a slightly elongated rhombus. We bend both halves of the figure (right and left) alternately. The inner edges must necessarily coincide with the outer ones. The triangles formed during the work will act as the hind limbs of the frog. We turn the figure towards ourselves with its hind limbs and fold it in half. The fold should be near the thinnest part of the body. We turn the folded frog over and fold the hind legs so that the lower edge of the figure and the piece of paper between its legs completely coincide. "Jumping Frog", the origami technique is ready. By pressing on the central folds at the back, we can make it jump. Below you can see a schematic representation of the process of working on this craft.
