Hartiatoys® made from paper

In certain Slavic languages, the word HARTIA means paper. Hartiatoys®, or Couplicoles® (taken from the French for cut-fold-paste), were conceived to entertain children ages 6 to 12 as well as their parents. Hartiatoys® are inexpensive and allow children to develop their motor skills and three-dimensional thinking. More than 50 colorful models of animals, birds, and other lovable characters are available. To get started, you can find the interactive assembly techniques for Couplicoles® on the Web site www.hartiatoys.com.

Couplicoles®, creatures of delight!

Couplicoles® are enchanting animal and human characters to cut, fold and paste – hence the name, from the French à couper, à plier, à coller. Couplicoles® are delightful creatures made from paper, so much fun to bring alive!

"Gorilla one, gorilla two, three gorillas in a zoo!" You can make the whole zoo with Couplicoles®, say the toy’s creators.
