Did you like arts and craft class when you were a kid? Most adults no longer work on craft projects in their leisure time... Many think this sort of thing is for children; others claim they simply don’t have the time. And this probably also has to do with the fact that we’re too lazy to buy some of the tools needed to work on craft projects. Piperoid solves all these inconveniences and was created to help adults regain the restless spirit of childhood.

It’s easy and fun to assemble. And, it’s also really cute! So, it’s the perfect game for lazy adults who love arts and crafts.

Piperoids are robots made out of paper pipes. In fact, the package contains only paper pipes. You won’t even need to use glue; you just fit the pipes together. All you need to assemble a Piperoid is just a normal pair of scissors. In just half an hour, you’ll have a really cute robot.

In Japan, the art of making paper crafts has a long history that dates back to the Edo period. The Japanese used to make paper furnishings for their homes, such as lamps and shoji (paper doors). They also played with paper making Origami (folded paper) and Kirigami (paper cut out) figures. In the 21st Century, a Japanese company called Koto has invented Piperoid, a new way to play with paper. It was a challenge to create a paper that was both sturdy and easy to cut with a pair of scissors once it was rolled up to make a pipe.

What’s really amazing is that Piperoids are movable! Don’t just leave them on the bookshelf; use Piperoids to play with your kids! Piperoid is fun, very pretty, and, of course, eco-friendly. It’s the perfect toy in every possible sense.
