Night 37 – Paper Kits Special Offer

This is an archived post – you can see our current card cutouts in the shop. This evening we have a special offer on a set of 4 Paper Cutout Kits which are no longer in print.

We have two Peter Markey designs, The Mechanical Dragon and the Olympic Runner, Keith Newstead’s Ski-ing Sheep, and the Chewing Sheep by Sue Stolpe.

Mechanical Dragon – The dragon opens its jaws and moves its tail.

Olympic Runner – The runner moves his arms and legs when you pull the rod back and forth.

Skiing Sheep – The sheep pushes itself off by the ski sticks and jumps up into the air. The title reads Skiing in Baaden Baaden.

The Chewing Sheep – Unmoved, the sheep chews grass. The jaw is driven by an eccentric pin.
