Origami Jumping Frog

A paper airplane swoops across the room. Just a piece of paper folded quickly, but you may be surprised to know the some piece of paper could be folded into hundreds of other useful things without any need for cutting or gluing. Paper Pandas and Jumping Frogs show you how to make flowers, boxes, puppets, and animals with paper, available from many neighborhood stores. Most projects are designed for beginners, but you will also find a few intermediate and advanced projects, all with instructions tested by people who never folded paper before.

In Paper Pandas and Jumping Frogs I have adopted a new approach to an enjoyable craft. I am not only showing how to turn them into useful party decorations, giftwrapping, and flower arrangements, and how to use them in other practical ways. Paperfolding has a long tradition in china. There children learn from parents and grand parents how to make boats, boxes and dollhouse furniture, and paper crafts are also encouraged in elementary schools. In the natural flow of communications, this folk art eventually reached Japan where it developed into the national art known as origami.

The enchanting calls of frogs emanating from werlands in the dark of the night have a primal, timeless quality and evoke in many a sentiment expressed by Sigurd F. Olson in his book The Singing Wilderness: "This is primeval chorus, the sort of wilderness music which reigned over the earth millions of year4s ago... one of the most ancient sounds of the earth, it is a continuation of music from the past, and no matter where I listen to a bog at night, strange feelings stir within me."

Frogs Hibernate

Even though frogs and roads live in a wide variety of habitats, their daily and seasonal activity patterns are limited because they have permeable skin, which makes them prone to drying out water evaporates from their bodies much more rapidly than in land animals whose skin is covered with scales, feathers, or hair. To reduce evaporative water loss, most species limit their activiity in she night, whwn the relative humidity is higher and temperatures are cooler. During the day ( and at night during dry periods ). Frogs and roads take shelter in moist ureas under rocks, boards, and other objects, and by hiding in burrows some of these burrows they make themselves. While others are inherited from a shared with other animals. If direcly expored to dry conditions, they may ruck in their legs and roll up or hug the ground, minimizing the surface area incontact with air. In extremely arid environments, numerous species estivate during the driest times of the year, resting in burrows and lowering their metabolic rates in order to survive the dry period.

One advantage of having permeable skin is that the skin can act as an important respiratory organ, directly passing oxygen from the air to capillaries. This is especially helpful during inclement weather respiring through the skin takes some load off the lungs, heart, and circulatory system and also helps frogs and toads survive long periods without eating.

Crazy Frog Popcorn

Mark Twain once said that if the first thing you do each morning is to eat a live frog, you can go through the day with the satisfaction of knowing that is probably the worst thing that is going to happen to you all day long. Your "frog" is your biggest, most important task, the one you are most likely to procrastinate on if you don't do something about it. It is also the one task that can have the greatest positive impact on your life and results at the moment. The key reaching high levels of performance and productivity is to develop the lifelong habit of tackling your major task first thing each morning. You must develop the routine of "eating your frog" before you do anything else and without taking too much time to thing about it.

This is another way of saying that if you have two important tasks before you, start with the biggest, hardest, and most important task first. Discipline yourself to begin immediately and then to persist until the task is complete before you go on to something else. Think of this as a test. Treat it like a personal challenge. Resist the temptation to start with the easier task. Continually remind yourself that one of the most important decisions you make each day is what you will do immediately and what you will do later, if you do it at all.

Frogs are found on every continent except Antarctica. They live in ponds, rivers, forest, and fields. Some even live in sand dunes. The biggest, the Goliath frog Africa, is as heavy as a newborn baby. One of the smallest, the gold frog from South America, could sit on the tip your little finger. But, big or small, frogs are always easy to recognize. Almost all have long back legs, a large head, big eyes, damp stretchy skin, and no tails. Frogs are amphibians, which means they lead "two lives" in water and on land. Many live near ponds and swamps, like this growling grass frog from australia.About half of a frog's bones are in its feet, which can wiggle and grip things almost like hands. These wonderful feet help frogs climb, dig, swim, and even hang upside down.

Some people are confused about the difference between a frog and a toad, but you do not have to be. A toad is just a kind of frog. It usually has drier skin than other frogs and can live farther from water. It also has shorter legs, so it hops rather than jumps. Toads can live a long time. A pet toad in England was famous for living for thirty six years. A bullfrog, by comparison, may live for about twenty years in captivity.

How To Draw a Frog on a Lily Pad

Your image should be simple enough to be easily repeatable, but not so simple that you don't have any store line. A map of North America might be a little too complex, for example. A drawing of an egg, on the other hand, doesn't give you much to work with. You may want to start with an existing image a photo, a picture, a drawing or an illustration and work at simplifying and abstracting that image. Add and substract details. Select an image that your audience will recognize. If they are going to be able to share in the surprise at the end, they need to know what the image is. Remember that the symmetrical images and images with repetitive elements will be harder to make a story around. If you decide to finish with a picture of a centipede, you are going to have to thing of fifty different things that the legs can represent in your story.

Draw simple abstract figures, different kinds of lines and geometric shapes. Work together to brainstorm a list of things each shape could be. Foer example, a circle might be a button, a coin, a small lake, a bowl, a cookie, a fingerprint, the path made by someone walking in a circle, a wheet, the sun, the moon, a planet, a sign or an eye. Turn the image and repeat the process. A tall, thin triangle that suggested pine tree or mountain might look more like an icicle, a pennant oe an ice cream cone when you turnit the other way.

Dancing Frog Cartoon Looney Tunes

At sunrise I could see a few early risers slowly walking the tide line, heads down as if in meditation. It was cold and they stayed well clear of the incoming tide, hands in their jacket pockets looking like sailors on watch. Maybe that is the metaphor, I thought. Life as one long sailor's watch, constantly on the lookout for danger the intercepting ship, the loose iceberg, the rogue gigantic wave anything that might require a change in course or speed. I was not a good watch man; always the straight course, no deviation, full steam ahead. The brightly painted hotel overlooking the Venice Boardwalk was old, dating from 1929, but renovation had changed it from a flophouse into a"charming beachside boutique hotel". And our room was charming. Large windows provided a spectacular view of the ocean and, about half a mile away, a part of the boardwalk that ended at the Santa Monica Pier. In the early morning light, the pier looked like an ethereal mermaid sleeping on the sea.

The frog, rolling in with the Pasific waves, was different in 1952. It was still pure, not yet touched by the advancing Los angeles smog. In the early morning you walked the beach as if in a maggical world hearing only the muted music of sea sounds. I closed my eyes and let my memory move into the present, feeling the phantom fog on my face and hearing the soft wafes.
