Funny Paper Kit - cut, fold, paste!
Kirigami - from Japanese "kiru" = to cut, "kami" = paper.
Contents: paper sheets, instruction guides, thread to build a mobile, scoring tool.
N.B. Scissors and glue not included.
Paper toys carry a special charm. It’s the magic of turning a flat sheet of paper into a three-dimensional object. All you need is scissors, precise folding and careful gluing. We call them Couplicoles (French for “cut-fold-paste”).
Several design schools have integrated the creation of a paper toy into their programs, a great way to develop students' three-dimensional thinking.
