Origami Frog: I love Origami, but for me I like to do traditional pieces just using square paper and no scissors or tape. I also like the model to look lifelike. Hence the frog which I think is one of the best looking origami models.

The origami instructions at Origami Guide are presented in an easy to follow photo tutorial format.

The origami popper (or origami banger) is a very popular action origami. It produces a nice loud "pop" and is easy to make. There's a video of the origami popper in action at the end of this page.

The Miura-ori is a method for folding up a sheet such that it can be opened or closed in one smooth motion. A Miura sheet has only one degree of freedom, and can be thought of as having only two states: fully open, or fully closed. Since reversing one fold in the sheet (that is, making a “mountain” into a “valley”) requires reversing all of the adjacent folds as well, the Miura sheet feels as though it has a memory, and is very resistant to deformation.
