"Cardkits Paper Toys" by Anther Kiley

Cardkits are build-it-yourself paper kits that engage dexterity, ingenuity, and focus, and end with a satisfying reward. To bring a kit to life, you pop out the pre-cut parts and join them together with white glue. It’s just the right mix of challenging and satisfying!
Cardkits Paper Toys are inspired by the elaborate toy cities that designer Anther Kiley created as a child. They’re made from sustainably sourced materials and are 100% recyclable, packaging included.
Anther has chosen Know Your Rights Camp as this week’s charity. $200 from the sale of the Cardkits will be donated.
“Our mission is to advance the liberation and well-being of Black and Brown communities through education, self-empowerment, mass-mobilization and the creation of new systems that elevate the next generation of change leaders.”

Anther began his design career at age 9, when he started constructing an elaborate toy world in his bedroom. This project taught him most of what he knows about design and is the inspiration behind Cardkits, a line of paper toys launched in 2019.”
