- Turn the origami over and this time fold the folds left to the top toward each other (this will be the front legs).
- Turn over the origami again and to finish the back legs, fold again the folds but to the exterior and creating a new fold.
- Turn the origami over and fold it horizontally in the middle.
- Fold the half on the side of the back legs to the horizontal line of the last fold. These two last steps will allow the frog to jump..
- To finish the front legs, fold the two pieces of paper left to the sides.
