NaniBird paper toys

Created by Josh McKible, NaniBirds are 3D paper models of birds based on a series of his paintings. "Nani?" means "what?" in Japanese, and it's the word Josh uses to summarize his experience living in Japan. Since the project began, dozens of artists and illustrators have added their own NaniBirds to the collection. Download them all here and construct your own flock.

    Those are really cute! I'm sure Courtney would like them better than the skeleton. :) I just may have to finally put a new color ink cartridge in my printer.

    I love when you share free printable things with us. Maybe one day I'll print them off and make something. I think it could be a cool team bonding experience to have a little papercraft time in the office.
