Origami Jumping Frog & Lilypad

This is an origami jumping frog laying on a origami lilypad. I was exposed to origami as a young age by my mom, one of the models she showed me was a jumping frog for its simplicity yet ability to launch up in the air.

• Frog: 6in x 6in (~15cm x 15cm or square paper) Origami Paper (Color: Green)
• Lilypad: 6in x 6in (~15cm x 15cm or square paper) Origami Paper (Color: Yellow Green)
• Pond Water: 6in x 6in (~15cm x 15cm or square paper) Origami Paper (Color: Blue)

The numbers are correlated to the order of the pictures presented.

1. Recommended color of frog (green)
2. Step by Step on folding the jumping frog
3. Setting paper
4. Fold in half
5. Fold bottom and top edges towards the left side
6. Fold bottom and top edges towards the right side
7. Fold in half towards the middle of the paper
8. Fold it into a waterbomb base
9. Fold it into a helmet base getting the corners and move it towards the top and bottom corners
10. Fold the legs away to the edges that were created by the helmet base
11. Flip over
12. Fold the edges into a kite base
13. Fold the bottom corner forwards to the center
14. Pleat fold the edges to create the spring mechanism

The numbers are correlated to the order of the pictures presented.

1. Recommended color of a lilypad (yellow-green)
2. Setting paper color side down
3. Flip the left corner about 6th of the way towards the center
4. Fold in half diagonally
5. Fold the top flap onto itself to simulate the shown (5th picture above)
6. Flip the model
7. Fold the bottom right corner towards the center
8. Squash fold the flap
9. Fold the remaining corners (top right and bottom left) towards the center but about a 6th of the way
10. Finished model
11. This is the crease pattern of the lilypad

This is the foundation that the lilypad and the jumping frog will sit on. This is the easiest step, place the blue paper down color side up and that's it!

Place the "Pond" color side up, following the lilypad then the jumping frog (shown above), and finally enjoy your frog jumping away!
