Build a frog
This project requires a 30-piece, Deluxe Set of WEDGITS
See the video of the completed project below.
|
Step 1: Make sure you place a white - octahedron WEDGIT on the inside of each of the frog's leg. Without these white parts you will not be able to anchor the red - rhomboid (rhombus) part of the frog's body. |

Step 2: Now that you see two red pieces you know it will take two sets of WEDGITS to build this design (each single set contains only one red piece). |
|
Step 3: Notice how Sam is aligning the green pieces in a parallel plane to the red piece; here is how he does it: "Secret #1": stand a blue WEDGITS piece vertically into a green piece that is laying on a flat surface. "Secret #2": place a red WEDGITS piece on top of the blue piece in a perpendicular manner. This red piece must go kitty-corner or diagonally across the blue piece. "Secret #3": keep both green pieces level to the table surface while inserting them downward into the blue piece; push them evenly but not to hard or they will slide right through. |

Step 4: If the parts are geometrically aligned you can pick this piece up and shake it like a rattle. You're clever.... you will be able to do it!! |

Step 9: See where Sam is pointing to in this picture? Press both of the legs easily together and your frog will jump... press to hard and it will probably jump right onto the floor. Look at Step 10 for a hint. |

Step 10: Sam is placing his hands on both the frog's feet and legs prior to squeezing. VIDEO |
