Update: The alphabet is now available as a beautifully printed book. Since it contains the letters already precut, it saves a lot of time.

A papercraft alphabet – 26 fine templates to print out, fold and glue into letters. Each one represents a thing (or animal, or people) starting with that letter.

This alphabet can be a nice and playful learning resource for kids – the younger ones will need some help in assembling the models.

In addition to being nice little toys (my son has instantly fallen in love with the letter A – or astronaut), you can write all kinds of nice messages with them, such as ‘I love you’ or ‘Please pay the rent ASAP’…

Works in English as well as in German (and, at least to some extend, probably in some other languages as well).

Here are the first three letters: A as in Astronaut, B as in Beaver, and C as in Chameleon:

Here is a tutorial on how to make the letters.

Here is a PDF file containing all letters.

And here are the individual letters, complete with downloadable PDF template:
