Look out, Legos, a formidable newcomer is vying to be the coolest toy around.
Launched on Kickstarter this past September and with a show at the World’s Fair Gallery in Providence, RI, Cardkits are the awesome older brother of paper-dolls and trading cards.
Beautiful, build-it-yourself paper toys that go together to form an interactive miniature cityscape, Cardkits are rewarding to assemble and engaging to play with. By combining the hands-on appeal of traditional DIY toys with the allure of creative world-building, Cardkits invite children (and adults) to flex the limits of their mind and invent narratives around the finished product.
