Who this list is for
Kids who want to fold paper frogs and compare their jumps can use this origami jumping frog craft list. It is aimed at 9-year-olds and includes supplies for a small target game after the folding is done.
How to use this list
Begin with square origami paper or green patterned origami paper for the frogs. Use pencils and rulers to set up a jumping area on white cardstock sheets or colored cardstock sheets, then add targets or score spaces. Fine-tip black markers and washable markers can label the game, while masking tape holds the score area in place. Use printable score sheets to record each round.
Common mistakes
Do not start with rectangular paper when the frog folds call for square origami paper. Keep the folds crisp rather than adding tape to the frogs, since tape can interfere with the jumping motion. Do not use the printable score sheets as the only target surface; white cardstock sheets and colored cardstock sheets give the game a sturdier base.
What is on this list
The core materials are square origami paper and green patterned origami paper. White cardstock sheets and colored cardstock sheets support targets and game areas. Fine-tip black markers, washable markers, rulers, pencils, masking tape, and printable score sheets help organize the test. Cross off any paper, markers, or tools you already own.
Before you go
Decide how many frogs and game rounds you want before printing score sheets. Put the origami paper, cardstock, ruler, and pencil together so folding and target setup can happen in order. Choose a clear flat surface where the frogs have room to jump.
