Paper Toys

Tired of buying your children expensive toys that they’ll eventually grow tired with as well? Then why not make the toys yourself?! There are dozens of websites that offer some of the best DIY projects which will make you look like a pro once your kids see the finished product.

For instance this website offers a variety of DIY projects which are, believe it or not, made of paper. The step-by-step guide can be downloaded via PDF file and you either read and follow the instructions directly on your computer or have it printed. The PDF guide contains a lot of steps needed to be done to get the desired outcome and sometimes it requires you to draw and paint each individual parts, but if you’re good with Adobe Photoshop or similar software you can do the paint or all of the parts digitally. If you are going to use Photoshop, then I’d suggest you use synthetic paper, because it yields high quality results.

Animals
You can do various kinds of paper animal designs and to spice things up make an animal design of the favorite animal of your child. The paper animals include a Dalmatian dog, a squirrel, a chipmunk, a sting ray, a cat, a lizard, a pig a fish and many more.

Ultra Realistic
A number of ultra-realistic paper crafts can also be found in this website and their main attraction is a twin engine sports motorcycle. It looks so real that it almost resembles the real thing! All parts are cut and assembled separately, but the finished product looks like it was welded and screwed with real engines and leather seats.

Sports Cars & Cool Vehicles
The Ferrari 350 classic is also one of the featured miniaturized paper vehicles offered in the website and they too look great. Other featured vehicles are the Lamborghini Diablo, the famous Batmobile and some classical cars as well.

Other Stuff
Those things from the galactic empire from the star wars movies can also be found here and it includes Darth Vader’s super maneuverable space craft, the walking tanks, as well as Han Solo’s ultra fast space ship. Mech Warrior’s Shadowcat mech is also among the many selections, the M1A1 Abrams tank, a 737 jetliner, Queen Elizabeth’s glamorous crown and many more. With all this information available for free you can even handle pre-school classes and teach them this the entire season! Of course aside from experimenting with synthetic paper you may also use other kinds of paper such as the waterproof paper, sticker paper, decal paper and vinyl paper.
