Here are some cute papercraft toys, to get you through these dark and rainy days (well at least that’s what the weather has been like in the Netherlands for the past 30 days ).

From left to right:

Today I stumbled upon these cute sketched icons, which you can use to brighten up your desktop.

This is just a selection, the set called Harmonia Pastels consists of many more icons. It’s free for personal use - to download it visit Raindropmemory’s Deviantart, where you can find even more icon sets!

You might have heard of the old Micropets and now Takara Tomy has released a new, more interactive version of this critter. Ahw, just look at it:

The series consists of nine different pets, new versions such as adorable bunnies and tigers will be released later this year. The robo-animals, with names like Whipped Cream and Mocha, can move around and avoid obstacles themselves.

Each pet moves at the snap of your fingers, in four modes:

1. Chase mode - chases after its ball or other objects.
2. Stroll mode - moves around while avoiding obstacles.
3. Song mode - sings one of the two installed songs.
4. Duet mode - sings together with another micropet.

Watch this youtube video to see the micropet in action.

You can adopt them at Strapya World or Brando for about $20,-

Can’t get enough of this pet? Enjoy yourself by playing this simple game - move the micropet along with your mouse to collect candy, but avoid all obstacles. Or put a cute paper home together for your pet.
