Impress your friend with this inflatable origami balloon frog!

Steps

  1. Make an origami balloon base.
  2. Fold the corners at the bottom up.
  3. Repeat with the other side, by flipping it over, and folding the corners up.
  4. Fold the left side over to the right side, almost as if you were flipping a page in a book. Make sure you only fold 1 flap.
  5. Do the same with the other side.
  6. Since you have 4 flaps, flip it over so that if you folded one of the flaps in towards the middle, there would be a hole in the bottom of the flap. Repeat this for all 4 of the flaps. There should be flaps under those flaps you just folded.
  7. Tuck those flaps into the holes by widening the holes with your index finger, and gently sliding the other flap in. There should be a clear side with no folds or anything.
  8. Draw a little frog face on the plain side. There should be a hole just above the face you just drew. Blow into that hole. The object should inflate!

Tips

  • Green paper makes it look better. If desired, add hair by putting cotton balls on to the top to get a sort of George Washington look.
