Learn How to Make an Origami Frog

Did you know that origami offers multiple benefits to students of all ages? Origami involves precise folding and manipulation of paper, promoting the development of fine motor skills. It requires concentration and patience, fostering a sense of focus and attention to detail. It also introduces students to a traditional Japanese art form, promoting awareness and appreciation of the traditions of an ancient culture.

This origami video will teach your students how to make a simple origami frog. We recommend that you use this video in conjunction with our set of printable instructions that will guide your students through the paper-folding process. You’ll also need small pieces of paper — green works best for frogs! — and a crayon or black marker for adding eyes to their new origami animal.

Whether you’re doing some origami for a brain break, during a wet recess or for all the benefits mentioned above, this origami frog is sure to be a favourite with your students!

Multiple Uses for This Origami Jumping Frog

Once your students have created their origami frog, be sure to put it to good use before it ends up in the bottom of your students’ school bags! Here are some ways you might like to incorporate these paper amphibians into your teaching plans:

  1. Measurement in Maths – Have your students measure how far their origami frog can jump, then see whose frog jumped the furthest!
  2. Character Inspiration in English – Have your students write a narrative that is centred around a character inspired by their origami frog. 
  3. Froggy Habitats in Science – Explore the habitat of frogs and the role they play within these ecosystems.
