First, procure some double-sided tape. It'll make a difference later. Also, take note of any instructions like "be sure to cut along the top of his head" or "his eyes will fold out." They may play a critical role in your success. But regardless, have fun with these "flatpack toys" from Readymech. Select a creature from the nearly two dozen available. Download and print the PDF file (in color, please). Then, cut, fold, and tape into shape. Voila! Instant paper pal. We built the pink-kimonoed, blue-haired little beast and were instantly smitten. Then we took up with the cigar-chomping, bird-like guy. But bearded pirates, toothy octopi, and more than one googly-eyed robot are just waiting to take up residence on your desk. With more colorful patterns coming soon, this could be the beginning of several beautiful friendships.
