Fold Up a Jumping Origami Frog With LED Eyes
Light-up origami designs have been around for a while —
but this adorable jumping frog takes it to new levels. Press the frog

across the table. If you’re lucky, it may even do a little flip in the
air!

More from Make:
With $10 worth of materials, declare war on your office coworkers with
a tiny trebuchet that can launch paper clips. Just get HR to sign off on it first.
It can get rather gloomy in the wintertime when it’s still dark outside long after you’ve woken up.
Build this wake-up light to make your mornings a little easier. It
will slowly light up a room at a time you designate, simulating the
rising sun’s illumination and tricking your brain into waking up.
