Super Secret Paper Toy #2: Jumping Frog

This is a fun jumping frog paper toy project I made for Craft magazine. To get your hands on this one you'll have to go to your local book store and pick up the newest issue of Craft #5.
I'm super excited to have a project in such an awesome magazine.
The frog jumps via a paper clip strapped to his butt. Here he is in action.

It's a great mag so go get a copy today! Also I'm running a bit behind on the paper toy of the month for November but will have it up this weekend.It just needs a little more tweaking. Thanks for your patience.

Awesome idea. I remember playing around with jumping paperclips in school. Great idea to use it in a papertoy. And good on ya for getting another publication. You're on a roll :)
