Paper boomerangs

A friend pointed me to this really neat resource: Canon’s Creative Park.

There are tons of models on their site ranging from monuments (Eiffel Tower, Castel d’ St. Angelo) to toys like chess sets and boomerangs. All the files are in PDF format. You just have to print all the pieces, cut them out and then put them together according to the instructions. The degree of difficulty depends on the model; they can get pretty complex but some are very simple like the boomerangs in the picture.

Some of the models have moving parts. A simple one would be the planisphere but they also have a moving models comparing the Ptolemaic and Copernican systems that represent our little corner of the universe.
