Wow.....just...wow. I looked at the instructions for making the paper Jaguar model. Now that's some dedication.

> Origami, Papercraft

What about Tux related papercrafts:
1. Greeting cards.
2. Pop-up / 3D books / magazine with Linux CD for kids.
3. Online pattern/picture for children handicraft (with dotted lines, etc).
The children can print the picture, glue the paper to a thick paper, cut it using scissors / cutter and put together a papercraft.

Other research in Japan combine e-book with 3 D glasses enable a 3D image to pop up from the e-book.

i did find a site with software that allows you to make models from 3d images.
