Tips
What do you need

1 Take a rectangular piece of paper or a rectangular card. Note that the smaller leaf will jump better, but the larger leaf will bend more easily.

Special origami paper works best as it has patterns on the back. In this case (or if one side is just a different color) it is sometimes easier to see errors.

2 Fold the upper right corner towards the left.

3 Unfold it back. Do the same for the top left corner.

4 Unbend. You need to see the two folds in the X shape.

5 Fold the sheet back so that the fold line passes through the center X. The folded portion will be rectangular.

6 Unbend again. The X needs to be visible with a line in the middle, resulting in small triangles. Happened?

7 From the inside, press down on the side triangles with your fingers so that they bend towards the center. This will allow your rabbit to jump.

8 Lower the top so that the triangles are bent. Outwardly, the figure should resemble a house. On the one hand, it should be rectangular, on the other, triangular.

9 Bend the right and left sides of the "house" so that they face each other. You want them to bend under the upper triangle. You can have a small space between the edges. Now the "house" should look like an arrow.

10 Flip the arrow over and bend the bottom upwards to cover the entire arrow except the tip.

11 Fold down most of the rectangle. Press firmly with your finger to create a crisp curve.

12 Flip over to the other side again. Bend both corners of the triangle to the center. Do you see the ears?

13 Bend the corners to form the ears. Now you can see where the muzzle is. Paint it!

14 In order for the rabbit to jump, lightly press on the area between the ears and release. Try how high your bunny can jump!

Method 2 of 2: How to make a standard paper rabbit

1 Start with a large square origami paper. Lay it pattern side down. You can also use a small leaf, but it is a little more difficult to bend.
2 Fold the sheet in half diagonally to form a triangle.
3 Unfold the paper and fold the corners on both sides to bend. It should be similar to how you start making an airplane. The figure also resembles an ice cream cone: the patterned side looks like a waffle, and the white side looks like a ball on top of a triangular shape.
4 Fold the visible part of the back of the paper and cover the patterned part of the sheet with it. In other words, cover the "cup" with a "scoop of ice cream". If you are using origami paper, you only want the patterned side to be visible.
- It is necessary that the top of the small triangle covers the large one. The whole shape should look like a perfect huge triangle.
5 Fold 2/3 of the top triangle back. You should make a small triangle that points in the opposite direction. It should open the unpatterned side. At the end, it will be the tail.
6 Flip the shape over and take the scissors. Cut from the bottom along the fold line that goes through the center, and stop when you cut 1/3 of the large triangle. This will be the head and ears.
7 Fold the large triangle in half along the cut (you should make a long triangle with a ponytail). Bend your ears on both sides so that they look up, with your body in the middle. Remember the little triangle you took a few steps earlier? It's a ponytail!
8 Draw the eyes and muzzle. Even two small dots will breathe life into your rabbit! Now make a boyfriend for him!

Tips

If you want to make a frog instead of a rabbit, bend the "ears" to the other side, and they will become the front legs of the frog!
To make a frog with hind legs, bend them back.
If you still can't make your bunny jump, try making smaller folds in step 11. To do this, turn the bunny over, unfold the folded rectangle and fold it so it is shorter.
Consider using recycled paper. It's better for the environment.
For more defined curves, try folding the paper back and forth.
The thicker the paper, the higher your rabbit will jump.
If your rabbit is not jumping, try pushing it down so that its head is flattened against the body and holding it for a bit. Then let go.
You can paint the rabbit however you want: add the eyes, nose, etc.
This activity is great for people of all ages and is incredibly fun and exciting.
