CLOSED
Papertoy Monsters is finally here! This breakthrough paper-folding book is ingeniously designed by Brian Castleforte and 24 of the top papertoy designers from around the world. Think Pokémon meets origami meets paper airplanes as you pop out, fold and glue 50 fiendishly original die-cut monsters. Kids, crafters, toy collectors, techies, and gamers of all ages will enjoy this book.Today is "Papertoy Monster Day", and in honor of the day, we have some special fun things for you to help celebrate.
First, watch this video that Brian Castleforte created just for you.
Next, find out which monster you are by taking their Papertoy Monster Quiz. I'm Wingy Wingy (pictured below)!
You can also download, print and assemble the Valentine's Day Papertoy Monster and the Super Bowl Papertoy Monster.
Make sure to check out the Papertoy Tumblr and the Papertoy Monster Facebook page, and don't forget to follow them on Twitter, too!
My Take
I love building things with my hands, but I'm not a very artistic person. This is PERFECT for someone like me, and my kids will be lucky if I actually let them put together any of these monsters (since I want to do all of them!!) Papertoy Monsters are fun and easy to put together, needing only glue to assemble them. They're also colorful and just the right amount of scary. This is an activity that kids will love that isn't too messy for parents to clean up after (especially if you use glue sticks). There are even ten blank monsters that your kids can color for themselves before putting it together. And then, once you've created your monster, you can play with it!
Cost: You can buy Papertoy Monsters on Amazon.com for $11.53. ($$)
Overall: We give Papertoy Monsters a 10/10!
One very lucky reader will win a copy of Papertoy Monsters!
