Creating an army of small cardboard people
November 6th, 2007 by Bee
I was browsing through some of my own favourite feeds (hey, you can get mine too), when I came across [mck] posting about a cool new flash site. Papercritters allows you and your kids to make printable paper people.
Sure it sucks up bandwidth, but it’s so cool; you grab and drop eyes and mouths and tats onto your template, print and cut and stick. You can go further and upload your families visage onto generator; possibly to create a small army of carboard clones to lurk around the house and spook the unwary.
It’s really easy to create; No1 child created some sort of urban-skate monster in a few minutes, though the construction may well take him a while longer. The sense of achievement is palatable.
Enjoy.

Hi Bee,
Thanks so much for the cred at Meez! I think I’m just in there as Starshyne though I’m loving the moniker Jamie Sunshine - so thanks for that!
I know I said it before but I just love “We like play.” And even reading just your menu I know there’s lots of cool stuff going on here! I’m glad we connected.

Okay, and I’m totally giggling that I got to send my comment out to play.
