We are going to make four delightful Dynamic Paper Toys where they flagellate their hands – move them up and down, bang a table or just clap. All the toys are made with simple card sheet. This toy has a refill stuck on the back in which a wooden stick moves freely. You hold the refill with one hand and move the stick with the other. Then the puppet moves its hands – one hand goes up and the other down in a very graceful motion. You can see the operation in a close-up motion. 
This toy is made from a card sheet box. It has got a diamond shape below. As you push-pull the triangular tabs this puppet claps its hands in glee. This is a Clapper.
In this puppet you hold the leg with one hand and move the body with the other. This makes the puppet to move its hands up-down. It lowers one hand and raises the other continuously in a very graceful motion.
In this toy as you move the end feet inwards-outwards this puppets seems to be exercising his hands.
In this final toy a man sits on a chair. As you move the straw behind the man he bangs the table with both his hands! The mechanism is easy to follow and make. This work is supported by IUCAA(www.iucaa.ernet.in) and TATA Trust (www.tata.com/aboutus/sub_index/Tata-trusts)
