How to Make an Origami Jumping Frog 🐸 with 8 Fingers and 10 Toes and it JUMPS FAR!

Hey guys, what's up? Check out the new model I just designed. It is a jumping frog with 8 fingers and 10 toes and this is how it jumps. So this frog I folded from a 7 inch square of commie but you could also fold it from a 10 inch square. I tried to make little toes on this frog but it didn't really turn out so well so I'm just gonna keep them with pointy toes and you could also make it out of 6 inch paper and it might even jump better. And these are my other attempts that I made. That one didn't work. So ready, set, here goes. Alright, so begin right side up and fold in half. As always try to make really precise folds and crease sharply and rotate and fold in half but we're just going to make a pinch mark on this point right there and unfold and fold this edge so that it touches the pinch mark. And repeat. And here it is like this. Now we're going to take this flap and fold it to this edge. This is a rather challenging model so if you're new to folding I really don't recommend it but if you're up for the challenge, as always, let's continue. And unfold, open this pocket, put your finger inside and squash and repeat. Turn over and fold this flap up so that this edge aligns with this edge and we're folding on this pinch mark. So it's like that and repeat. Turn over and fold this flap up and fold this flap down and repeat. Now comes the fun move. Holding right here, pull the corner out. Fix it up if it's off and now pull it out like that. And now holding here, pull this corner out and turn over. Now this is going to be the front of the frog, this is the back and these are going to be the fingers and toes. So we're going to fold this flap into fourths. So first turn over and fold this corner to this point like that and repeat all the way around. All right, turn it back over and fold this edge to this edge letting the flap swing out and repeat all the way around and on this side. Now fold this flap to here and fold it over and repeat that all around. And turn over and fold this flap to the crease and repeat that all around. Unfold those folds, turn over and unfold the flaps. Now we're going to reverse fold it. So push it in right on the crease. Well if there's not a crease, make one. So it's like that and now open it and reverse it back out on the next crease and open again and reverse like that. And now take this flap and fold it behind so it goes right into there and flatten like that. And now reverse fold here. So we're going to bring these two edges together and these two edges like that and now open here and just reach in and pull out the corner like that and fold in half. Fold the flap in half like that and now we're going to reverse fold again. So take this flap and fold it up and make the corner touch this point and this point and reverse fold in here. Okay we got one narrow point like that and now we're going to reach in here and reverse fold it so that this crease aligns with this edge like that and this crease aligns with this edge. So it's like that from this side that's what it looks like and now reverse it on the existing five toes. We'll narrow these later and repeat that on the other three flaps and I'm going to to this crease and fold this flap to this edge. You don't need to fold the toes and turn over and fold this edge to here letting the toes swing out. So it's like that and like that and unfold that and turn back over and now we're going to fold the two sides to the middle to this point and you can line it up with this edge and repeat and unfold and turn over and now fold this flap up right on those two creases and unfold and now fold the flap so that the fold originates here and it goes to this crease and at the corner pinch like this and repeat and turn over and pinch these two edges together and fold on these two creases and repeat and turn over and one last time fold on the existing creases pinching here and here and folding in so that's what it looks like now we're going to reverse fold these flaps so turn over and just wrap it over the edge like that we can do one at a time and unfold it and reverse and reverse and repeat that on this layer you could just fold it in like this or you can just make the reverse fold that's even better you can align it edge to edge there and edge to edge there and repeat okay and now holding here and here pull pushing this down and fold between these two points pinch pinch pinch like that and this is the arm and repeat you can just push that in and fold like this okay now unfold here so this is the crease pattern and just practice refolding it like that and unfold again okay now a frog has four toes four fingers on each hand so we have five we need to get rid of one how are we going to do that fold this flap like this and repeat just one flap one finger and unfold and open the front layer and push it in pinch on that existing crease like this and flatten and fold it over and now we're going to fold it tucking it into one of these pockets so just open up the pocket whatever's easier and slide it in curl it in now we're going to narrow this toe this finger right here so open it turn over and now we're going to make a fold we're going to fold between this point and this point like that and now fold this edge to the diagonal and that fold extends to right here this crease okay so we have this and this and now collapse it like that and repeat so we're folding from this corner to that point and folding this edge to the diagonal so it's like that and now collapse it so it's like that all right so the arms are narrowed and we have four fingers on each arm and now time to narrow the back we have four fingers narrowed we just need to narrow this one and i recommend putting it inside you could fold it on the outside that might be easier but i think it'll hold together a little bit better if you pull it inside like that and repeat okay so those are the narrowed toes and now take this flap and we're going to open it and squash it like that and now open up this little pocket you might want to put a sharp object just to open it if you can't fit your finger in to open it and same on this side now squash it so that the fold goes between these two points so it's like that and now bring this flap up like this and squash and these are the eyes and now i recommend getting some sort of round objects or a pen and you can insert it into the eye to make it nice and round like that and shorten this so that it matches the upper jaw like that and if you want you can and if you want you can sink this point so open it and sink it and now reverse fold this flap push it in like that and push it in so it's like that and i lost my eye and you can even stick the pen inside the frog so that it opens up you can put a finger in there all right now let's work on narrowing the fingers so make a fold a fingernail mark right down the middle like that and try to narrow them make it go all the way on the arm so it's like that and try to make the arm come out of the side of the frog so it's like this and same on this side so we're pinching it like that and just kind of pushing it so that it comes out the side all right undo that and now we're going to spread the fingers apart so are against the table now if you want you can try to spread out the the tips of the toes and on this one that i folded from 10 inch i tried to do that but it didn't look very good so i'm just going to keep them narrow like this so it's more like a dinosaur or some other creature but anyway that's the completed frog arm and repeat on this side okay now for the toes i haven't really actually finessed the back here i mean i'm trying different sort of things if you want to try to make knees on the legs then you can do that more i think i'd say we first try to get the jumping mechanism before we spread the toes out so um all right we're gonna make a pleat here and i guess here this pleat is really experimental however you want to do it but i'm going to make it just above this line so about right here and don't make it very sharp just bend it like that it's so many layers i don't think you could make it sharp but it doesn't need to be sharp anyway okay and now fold let's try to make knees on this so we're gonna fold about like that so there are the two knees and now the legs come out like that all right and now just shape the toes to taste once again i'm going to narrow it and spread them out they don't need to be spread out as much as the hands just enough so that it says five toes and bend it so that it's facing forwards and narrow them one more time okay that's one foot and repeat and i'm going to fast forward this part and reshape the eyes one last time and open up the mouth and now let's see how this little frog jumps like this and yeah well it landed on its feet oh yeah yeah that jumps really well better than all of them i've made so far yeah and it'll probably end up jumping a little bit less as you go on but all right i hope you guys were able to make this frog and hope it jumps super well and i'll see you guys later
