Step 11: Flatten everything into an elegant rectangle with a "V" at the top. 

Step 12: Lift and open the flap slightly to one side.

Step 14: Then, pull both flaps of the top toward the sides to create the Frog's "eye" corners. 

Step 15: Make another piece of paper and cut thin, long strips (for the frog's tongue or crying strip). 

Step 16: Fold or roll the strip into a narrow, tight one.
