About

Paper Critters is a kid-safe digital craft platform that bridges screen time with physical hands-on play. Built as a fully responsive Progressive Web App (PWA), it operates seamlessly across mobile, tablet, and desktop with zero App Store friction. Kids design custom 3D paper toy characters using stickers with complete control over position and rotation, then print them out as ready-to-assemble paper crafts complete with cut lines, fold lines, and step-by-step directions.

Frictionless & Kid-Safe: Free to start with no account required, no email collection, and no app store download necessary—users can install it directly to their home screen for instant access.

Universal Access: Fully responsive layout optimizes the design interface whether on a smartphone, tablet, or desktop browser.

Community & Privacy: Features a moderated public gallery for safe sharing, along with options to keep creations private.
