Project: Free Papertoys by Marshall Alexander!

Marshall Alexander

The weather has been crazy across the US (west = heat, south = flooding, north = storms), which means that there are thousands of kids bouncing off the walls. I know what you’re thinking…give me something quiet, and “free” would be nice as well. Today’s prescription for indoor boredom, papertoys. I know it sounds like a ridiculous proposition,

but trust me on this.

Marshall Alexander of the Netherlands offers a fantastic archive of free papertoys from his website that should appeal to just about any kid out there. Once they have worked through a few of Marshall’s designs, they can create their own characters with his blank DIY template. For a little creative inspiration, visit his Flickr page to see a gallery of super-cool finished papertoys. After that…well, you’re on your own.

Have fun and stay healthy,
Dr.MOZ

    Tell you what, just what the doctor ordered. While it’s not quite summer, Winter also has it’s spells when I gotta figure out what the heck to do with the kids. They’re getting home fever….just before they gotta go back to school! Shaw
