These foldable paper toy creations by Direct Channel were created as Kinder Surprise treats that could be colored and bent into 3D shapes. The adorable toy designs include paper ponies and cars that are able to stand on their own without the need for additional fasteners.
As well as being a fun way to encourage creativity, the toys are also pretty fantastic for teaching kids about how a 2D net can be transformed into a shapely 3D toy. The white toys are like coloring book elements come to life, with plenty of details like the pony's saddle, mane, face and the car's windows, wheels and hood for kids to make into their very own. The only colored elements on the printed toys include the Kinder Surprise logo, which practically begs kids to put their own unique stamp on the paper toys.
