Blocky Hero Paper Crafts for kids
Every hero has a square head, a square body, arms, legs and small extras such as hats, horns or a sword. The face is made of simple pixels, so the figures look like tiny toy blocks. Build a whole team and play with them on the table.
How to print and build the paper craft
- Download the PDF and print it on A4 paper at 100% scale (do not choose “fit to page”). Thicker paper, 160-200 g/m2, works best, but regular office paper is fine.
- Cut out the parts along the solid lines. Little children need an adult to help with scissors.
- Fold along the dotted lines. Put glue stick on the gray tabs and glue the head cube together.
- Glue the smaller body cube in the same way and attach the head on top.
- Glue the small details (ears, paws, tail, wheels) as shown on the sheet. Your toy is ready to stand on the table.
Every sheet also has a step-by-step picture and a preview of the finished toy. You need: a color printer, A4 paper, scissors and a glue stick.
