Frogs are cute creatures hopping here and there, in varied shapes, features or colors, playing in the wild, or by the roadside, or jumping in your garden or garage. If you can’t get one of these, or are skeptical in handling one, you can well try making one for yourself for fun by easy and simple origami craft. Just follow these simple instructions to make an easy frog.
Step by Step Instructions to Make a Paper Frog
Step 1
Take a square-shaped paper.

Step 2
Now, give a first fold, diagonally to form a triangle.

Step 3
Fold the paper again by the opposite diagonals to form yet a smaller triangle.

Step 4
Open the second fold. This leaves an impression of two triangles in a bigger triangle, marking the ‘altitude’ from the vertex to the base. Fold one smaller triangle, so that an impression of one more altitude is created.

Step 5
Follow the above step and do the same with the other smaller triangle. This gives you a square.

Step 6
Mark the point where the diagonals of this smaller square intersect. Mark the point where the diagonals of this smaller square intersect. Draw 3 straight lines in the shape of a rhombus, without the base as shown in the above picture.

Step 9
Fold the paper by the left line.

Step 10
The last 3 steps give you 3 triangles with the vertices facing each other. Now, fold the top triangle inward by its downward-facing vertex. This gives an elongated rectangle.

Step 11
Fold the rectangle upward, by its half.

Step 12
Give a fold to one side of the two parts of the side, which was left unfolded while making the three triangles above, to the right and form another triangle.

Step 17
Make a long tongue by a strip of paper and color it red/pink. Draw the eyes and nostrils and add skin-marks all over the body. The frog is READY!!!
