I spent about an hour today playing around on the Paper Critters website, where you can design and print your own paper toys. All of the toys have the same basic body shape, and you decorate them to your taste. They have a pretty nice variety of decals in a couple of styles that you can use, and they have a few drawing tools if you happen to be one of those people who can actually free-hand draw with a mouse (if you are one of those people, I hate you. When I try to draw with a mouse it looks like an actual mouse did the drawing.) The drawing function is also limited by the fact that there is no erase tool. It would also be nice if there were a cut and paste option, but otherwise it’s a fun little site to play around with. You can also check out other peoples creations in their gallery. Here’s one of my creations below (unfortunately, I don’t have a color printer, so I’m limited to black and white designs).
