Did you know some frogs can jump 20 times their body length!?
Get your gross motor on and try some skill-testing jumps!

We often used Origami to enhance our math skills; symmetry, shapes, pattern.
We've done a variety of animals and insects, but to introduce our Amphibian study, we completed these hopping frogs.

Initially, we began with cardstock and although it worked, they became trickier to bend with each fold.
Then we switched to beautiful new floral origami paper; it's the right weight for folding and also has a solid and patterned side, which helps reach each step in the process.
