Class 60. The Art of Play: Making Paper Toys with Melissa Ewart | Athenaeum Art Center

About the Event

Get ready for playtime and have fun making custom paper toys. A few templates will be provided and printed on cardstock. Choose your favorite(s) and illustrate a character or color the template with a pattern or design. We’ll cut, fold, and adhere the designs together to make finished 3D paper toys for display or play. No experience necessary. Scissors can be used in lieu of a craft knife.



Materials: The materials fee includes cardstock paper, paper toy template prints, self-healing mat, craft knife, metal ruler, bone folder, tape, glue, and a sample of colored pencils/markers. Optional but recommended: Bring your own favorite markers, pens, pencils, and/or colored pencils if you have a favorite set. We will be using light cardstock paper. If you are not comfortable using a craft knife, please bring scissors.
