Walking Automata and other self-moving models to cut out and make 1 899618 50 3 Magdalen Bear Each of these charming paper toys walks, steps or waddles down a slope in a most satisfying and amusing fashion. Enjoy making the models and then be intrigued as they walk their rather mysterious walks. Apart from the duck and her two ducklings there is also a kangaroo and then a blue footed booby. Not forgetting of course, a pirate ship and a fine example of a Noah’s Ark with its animals aboard. £4.95 (inc. VAT) (Called Waddling Ducks in 2002 printed catalogue) | Automata Too Four working models to cut out and glue together 1 899618 45 7 Magdalen Bear If you like making working models, then you will be delighted with this collection. The 'Run-about Train' follows its track through the tunnel and the 'Busy-buzzy bees' buzz about in a rather random and bee-like fashion. The 'Hare and the Tortoise' race to a very close finish, and the 'Owl and the Pussycat' set off in their pea-green boat. All of them make use of different mechanisms and the collection is a fine display of ingenious and colourful paper engineering. £4.95 (inc VAT) | The Moving Menagerie Rocking Models to cut out and glue together 1 899618 46 5 Annabelle Curtis A splendid collection of characterful animals inhabits the pages of this delightful book. Not only are they enjoyable to cut out and make but they all move, often in surprising ways. Look out for the bear which rolls on his back, the monkey whose head rocks back and forth and the frog which balances carefully on its lily pad. Sea-life is represented by a rocking seal and a pair of penguins with flippers which flap in a most charming way. £3.50 (inc.VAT) | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
