I though that they could easily be made into wooden toys. The files are free and in PDF as well as .jpg format. Two links are attached first one is to Barnical Press, the site with the PDF and jpg files and the other link is to the parent site with all kinds of links to other sits with drawings for card stock models.

Now that my secret's out, I won't find any great deals anymore!
