Pop-up Frog Card

Fold two rectangular pieces of construction paper in half. One piece will be the outside of the card and one piece will be the inside. Cut a straight line perpendicular to the fold in the middle of one of the pieces of paper.

Fold down the paper on each side of the cut you just made.

Cut a short, straight line on the top fold (do not cut all the way to the edge of the paper).

Fold down the paper on each side of the cut you just made. Unfold the folds and open up the card. Carefully pop the frog's mouth and eyes so that they bulge towards the inside of the card.

Draw half a frog around the mouth and eyes (draw the head, a leg and a foot). Glue the other piece of folded construction paper to the back of your card. Cut along the half-frog drawing you made in the previous step. Fold the card up. Now cut the other half of the frog out. Open up your card and decorate your frog if you'd like - you can give it warty skin, stripes, and eyeballs (drawn on the underlayer). You might even want to glue on a long pink tongue (make sure that the tongue fits inside the card when you fold the card up). Write a message on your cute frog pop-up card.

ORAGAMI JUMPING FROG

Start by making a square piece of paper. To start making the square, fold one corner of a piece of paper over to the adjacent side. To finish making the square, cut off the small rectangle, forming a square (which is already folded into a triangle). Open up the triangle into a square. Fold the opposite edges together, then unfold. Repeat using the other edges. Open it up into a square again.

Fold each of the four corners to the center point.

Fold each of the two top edges to the center line.

Fold the triangle at the bottom upwards.

Fold each of the bottom two corners to the middle of the bottom edge.

Fold the bottom portion upwards (along the dotted line). Fold the top half of the lower rectangle downwards toward yourself. This forms the frog's legs. Give your frog a head by folding a small part of the upper point downwards. Draw two eyes, and your frog is done. To make your frog jump, push down on the "X" and slide your finger away from the frog.

Paper Frog Puppet

Fold a piece of green paper in thirds, forming a long rectangle.

Fold the long rectangle into fourths, making a "W" shape.

This "W" shape will be the frog. Draw eyes on the frog (or glue on googly eyes).

Cut out a long tongue from red paper and glue the end of it in the frog's mouth.

Put your thumb in the frog's lower jaw, and put your other fingers in the upper jaw. You now have a frog puppet that has a VERY big mouth.
