Paper stuff for kids and grown-ups

Paper Toys

If you are totally buzzed by all the technology-driven toys on the market today, or maybe just a bit too cheap to keep feeding them with batteries, why not go back to basics with some toys made out of paper?

You will not find any Nintendo Wii's around here, just a great collection of printables you can stick together to make your own toys. It is a brilliant way to keep your kids occupied without plugging them in to any tech.

As a parent you will have to stay around for this play as there are scissors and glue involved - we learnt our lesson at Click when we left Spencer unsupervised while making a dinosaur. Some of the models are very complicated too, so it is definitely suitable for all ages to enjoy.

The toys are all listed on the opening page, just click a link and then choose a link to which version you want to print underneath the following image. Some are coloured for you, others not. You decide, just remember to colour in the templates before you cut them out and stick them together.

A couple of the toys do not have links to a clean printable version below. This is a bit confusing, but if you right click the image and choose to save it, you will find you can open that up and print it from your desktop too.
