I found this book [My big bumper book of model animals] when I was in Egypt a couple of weeks ago.  Without thinking I grabbed it, I knew it was going to entertain the little one and I for a couple of hours.  And it has been a lot of fun.  It is the perfect thing to do with kids when you don’t want to clean up.

And then completely by chance I came across 3eyedbear and found Sofia, she is the blue haired girl [the red haired girl template can be found here].

The site has lots of other paper toys.  All you need to do is print the pdf file then cut out the model and glue the bits and pieces together.  I have found that it is easier to use an X-Acto knife to do the cutting and double sided tape for sticking the pieces together.
