Why We Love these 3D Paper Peppers

  • Simple 3D art– It’s amazing how with a little bit of effort, you can make your artwork pop off the paper, giving it a beautiful 3D effect. Kids will love the look and feel of their unique works of art.
  • Versatile–  It’s surprisingly easy to make the paper peppers pop using strips of paper. And you can really do it for any round-shaped fruit or veggie, like these 3D Paper Apples by Krokotak.
  • Fine motor skills– Our paper peppers craft allows kids to put their developing tracing and cutting skills to good use.
