Perhaps the first thing that comes to mind when mentioning paper toys is origami. This very word is translated as "folding paper", and in the world probably there is not a single person who would not know what it is.
The Japanese occupation makes a figurine paper without the help of glue or other binding materials known from the 17th century and since then has developed into a separate type of art. Famous origamists create their complex models of animals, plants, buildings, technicians, seeking accuracy with the original. Schemes such models may contain hundreds of actions.
For children, simple schemes are suitable in several simple actions. Many since childhood know how to fold a simple flower, caraville or a box. Here are some more simple schemes in the piggy bank, how to make a frog, giraffe, mouse, foxes from paper.
From paper you can make not only animals and flowers, but also various things, equipment, buildings.
Paper is better to take thin. A regular notebook is suitable, from which you will need to make a square, since most of the figures are made of a square sheet of paper. After training on ordinary paper, you can switch to color - it is also thin, but the model classes will get more colorful.

The process of folding paper itself is quite fascinating and can turn into a game. You can play with the figures obtained, as well as make functional toys.
But volumetric paper toys can be done and easier, without resorting to the art of folding paper. It is enough to take the usual scissors and glue, and still stock patience and show accuracy.
For such toys, we need patterns - they are better to take ready. You can print on the printer (contour or non-ferrous) and redraw them yourself, for example, applying a sheet of paper to the monitor and aroused translucent lines.
Paper for such toys is suitable dense, for example, a thin cardboard or paper for drawing. Create can be known for both children's heroes.
Collect and glue such figures is easy, the child will cope and independently. They are large and assemble on the principle of the cube, in some schemes there are letterhead or numeric designations so that the sequence of assembly and compliance of parts (A - K A, N - K H) is understood.
After the items are cut, they must be bent on the conventional lines. All parts of the part inside are bend. When the figure is collected, it can be sampled by special allowances.
So you can create entire cardboard houses and settlements.
More elegant figures have the same assembly principle, but require more scrupulsiness and experience due to small parts. But you can glue the beautiful model of the machine, pupae or animals with the least number of corners - they look careful and prettier.
This principle of assembling models lies in paper 3D modeling, which is called Pappercraft. These are already complex professional models, but you can try to collect themselves.
Funny toys with which you can invent stories and even arrange theatrical productions - the so-called finger toys. They are made of thick paper in the width of the palm with special holes for the fingers.
