Like other amphibians, frogs live both on land and in water. Their skin is smooth and slippery, attached to their bodies in only a few places, meaning a frog is essentially wearing a loose-fitting suit. Four times a year, frogs “change clothes” by shedding their skin. Because frogs breathe through both their lungs and their bare, mucus-covered skin, they must stay moist; if their skin dries out, the frog will perish.
A paper frog is one of the most beloved children’s crafts. This origami project is quick and easy to fold, and the best part is that this paper frog actually jumps! It is a perfect creative activity for beginners and kids alike.
Making a jumping paper frog takes about 20 minutes.
Materials needed:
