DIY Children's Toys

The Paper-Craft Models by Papero are Beautifully Complex

— June 12, 2012 — Autos
The beautiful paper-craft models by Korean-based company Papero are reminiscent of childhood days spent indoors making paper airplanes. These paper toy products have been crafted by some of the top exhibition designers in Korea, and are both a craft and a toy. Each paper-craft kit comes with blueprints of the 3D vehicle you chose, which can be buses, airplane, motorcycles, scooters or trains. You are required to color and assemble the vehicle, and the paper materials are safe for children to use. The video shows how to color in each part, and assemble your craft piece-by-piece.

These crafty toys would make the perfect gift for young boys who love cars, or adults who want a unique display collection. This line of paper-craft products is eco-friendly, and doesn't require glue or scissors.
Trend Themes
1. DIY Paper Craft - The trend of creating complex paper craft models as toys is disrupting traditional toy manufacturing.
2. Eco-friendly Toys - The trend towards toy products that are safe, sustainable, and environmentally-friendly presents opportunities for manufacturers to develop new materials and methods.

2. Craft Industry - The craft industry could benefit from the growing trend of craft-toy hybrids by partnering with toy companies to develop products that appeal to both crafters and children.
3. Education Industry - The education industry can leverage the trend towards paper-craft models as tools for experiential learning, incorporating these products into curriculum and lesson plans.
