How to make it
1Fold the X
Fold the top-left corner down to the right edge and unfold. Do the same with the top-right corner. You'll see an X near the top.
2Fold the line across
Fold the top edge down through the middle of the X and unfold.
3Collapse the triangle
Push the sides in along the creases so the top folds into a triangle. Flatten it.
4Make the front legs
Fold the 2 bottom points of the triangle up to the top point. Those are the front legs.
5Fold in the sides
Fold the left and right edges of the card in to meet in the middle.
6Fold the back legs
Fold the bottom edge up to the triangle. Then fold that same flap back down in half. That's the spring.
7Make it hop
Turn it over, draw eyes, and press your finger down on the back edge. Slide off fast and it jumps.
Hold a frog race on the kitchen table. Mark a start line with tape.
