Brave Paper Face Co. specializes in bringing the kid out in all of us with its paper toy kits.

For now there are three animal kits to choose from -- a squid, a dragon or a crab. Better yet, you can even decide to make all three if you so please.The kits' easy to follow instructions will soon have you folding your way to a delicate and wonderful toy creation. What's even better about the company is that you can either purchase it from [Etsy](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/arcade-clock) or there is also an option of downloading the instructions and making it yourself for free. A personal favorite is the dragon finger puppets, which have just the right whimsical and colorful charm.

Go online, print out or order one of these fun paper toy kits and get ready to feel like a kid again.
