Figures of animals and birds created using the origami technique can be used for voluminous applications and for games with children.

Models of boats, boats and planes can be launched by water or air. But origami frogs are often made for a board game. After all, if the figure is pressed against the table, and then released, then it jumps up or forward. You can arrange a competition whose frog jumps the farthest. Children love to play with mobile, moving toys. Static ones get bored quickly.

In the article we will describe how to make origami frogs in different ways. Working on paper folding is in itself educational and educational. A child who makes origami learns to be neat, to fold the sheet evenly and clearly, to smooth the folds well so that the work is neat. Smallmotor skills of hands and fingers, memory and attentiveness, and these qualities will be useful later in school.

Easy option

To learn how to make origami frogs correctly, you need to be able to use figure assembly patterns. In the figure below there is a sample, where the numbers indicate the sequence of work. First you need to prepare a square sheet of paper. To do this, you can draw a square on a sheet using a ruler or make the necessary figure by wrapping one of the corners of an A4 sheet to the opposite side. Cut off the extra rectangle with scissors.

Further, all actions are performed according to the origami frog pattern. Let's learn in more detail how to make folds to get a jumping frog.

Step by step instructions

First you need to make folds along the diagonals of the square and along the horizontal line in the center. Then take the figure on both sides and bend the side triangles inward with your fingers. It turns out a three-dimensional figure with an "accordion" inside. The upper part of the origami frog must be turned up so that the sides of the triangles meet along the center line, as in the diagram under No. 3. We make a similar fold again. Then the craft is turned over to the back side, and work is already done with another triangle, the outer corners of which go down until the sides meet along the center line.

Further, the folds are made again, reducing the sides by half, as in the figure under No. 6. These will be the hind legs of the origami frog. Now you need to bend them twice,having achieved that the figure bounced off the surface of the table. Everything, the work is completed, and you can start the game.

For older children, there is a more complex version of the origami frog paper folding. Parents can help them read the charts. Although older preschool and primary school children should already know the numbers, so if they already have experience making origami, then they can do it on their own. Beginners can be helped by the fact that the mother or teacher will do the work next to the child, clearly showing the order of folding a sheet of paper.

We will not repeat with a step-by-step description, since everything is visible in detail on the diagram presented above. They begin by preparing a square sheet of paper, and only then they simply bend it, according to the images under serial numbers.

If you managed to make the previous origami, then you can make another figurine with thin paws. Do the complication of work gradually, do not rush the child. After all, it often happens that if children do not succeed the first time, then they may quit the lesson and not want to return to work. Do not rush, first try to make such a complex model on your own according to the described scheme. Then, in case of failure, you will be able to help your child, give useful advice.
