Never before have I sat with my mouth wide open in amazement for so long, as I have with the BBC’s recent Frozen Planet series. It left me a gasp at sheer beauty of the land/seascapes, in awe of the The Inuit, the penguins and polar bears, and almost heartbroken at thought of what lies ahead for our precious ice caps.
It also made me think to myself, what wonderful world this is with David Attenborough in it.
Grace Hawthorne is taking it back, way back like playschool with her Paper Punks – do it yourself – paper models.
A great example of how the simplest ideas can be the best, the flat pack kits come with instructions and stickers to make your own 3D robot, dog or car, the kit is based upon geometric shapes to build and create.
It’s an educational tool that will hopefuly get kids using their dexterity and imagination particularly at a time where moving the Wii console is considered as a form of exercise.
I’ve spotted Paper Punks on a few design blogs so it seems to be attracting big and little kids alike.
