Hey there, HOLers! Let's JUMP right into this month's craft, shall we?
What you'll need today is just one piece of rectangular paper. I recommend a thicker paper like construction paper or cardstock.

5) Unfold the page again. You should get a page that looks like this on top: 7) Grab the right edge of the paper where your horizontal crease is, and push it until it meets the center line. 9) Flatten the top "hood" part down. It should give way to your other creases and form naturally into a triangle. 11) Fold the rectangular "wings" inwards to make a streamlined shape: | 6) Now, where the diagonal creases meet in the mild, fold your paper backwards, crease, and unfold it. 8) Do the same for the other side, and it will meet in the middle to make this odd shape: 10) Now, fold the flaps of the TOP triangle inwards to make a diamond shape: 12) Fold the bottom of the rectangular part upwards to meet the middle of the diamond: |
13) Fold the top of that back towards the bottom of the shape.
You've made a hopping frog! If you press on the rectangular part of its back and let go, it should hop! (Note that smaller frogs hop far better than massive frogs) Have fun playing leap frog all day long ;)
