Frog (Traditional)

description Frog (Traditional) Overview

The traditional origami frog is a classic beginner-level paper folding model that creates a recognizable representation of the amphibian. It is typically constructed using a waterbomb or balloon base to form a slightly puffy body and four distinct limbs. A defining mechanical characteristic of this traditional design is its interactivity; pressing down on the folded back of the model causes it to spring forward in a hopping motion.
