  • Paper Automata Robot
  • Single Item
Shipping included

An original Japanese karakuri or "trick mechanism" by one of Japan's best paper engineers. This teeter totter robot animates the first steps of a budding 'bot. The adorable robot walks as the crank is turned.

Often called paper animations, these are clever paper craft kits that are a bit addicting to build. A great gift for crafters and tinkerers, this charming kit is humorous and sophisticated. Paper animations also provide teachers and students a quirky means of exploring the basics of mechanical movement.

This kit requires folding, glue, scissors, and a craft knife to create. While the kits are good for kids, we highly recommend that adults supervise—and take part in the fun.

Recommended Age: 10 and up
