We are PAPER-CAPERS
PAPER-CAPERS approaches this through craft-making and provides a structured but open and flexible model which enables children to develop exciting ideas and create both sculptures and storytelling characters.
PAPER-CAPERS pre-cut patterns enable kids to take ideas from two dimensional to three dimensional activities and create more opportunities for hands-on experiences. This is how paper-capers develops students’ creativity and imagination.
PAPER-CAPERS hopes to support parents to bring enriching experiences to their children, whom may not be confident exploring art and craft activities at home.
We pursue a happy and energetic paper capering experience, aiming to encourage kids to explore arts and craft activities confidently and voluntarily.
PAPER-CAPERS is approved and supported by UCL innovation and enterprise.

Making is a cognitive process.
We think through making.
Paper for capering
PAPER-CAPERS aims to inspire creativity and spark children’s imaginations through flexible art-making.
Paper is easy to use, flexible, non-toxic, biodegradable and sustainable. Therefore, regardless of being a two-dimensional material, it is suitable to make three-dimensional sculptures, storytelling characters, and paper net experimentations.
Pre-cut shape
“The most terrifying thing in my life is a blank sheet of paper”, David Ayer said once.
This can turn the experience of exploring arts and crafts into a confusing, and embarrassing activity. Therefore, PAPER-CAPERS provides pre-cut pieces make it easy for kids to start exploring and creating art, and remove any circumstances of ‘GOOD’ or ‘BAD’ art from their experience by promoting abstract approach to art.
Depending on the choice of pre-cut shape, colour, and size, children can develop their hands-on activities and creative potentials in a playful way.
