3 The Snappets Story Snappets are the brain-child of Zachary Opaskar. The idea for the first Snappets toy was born while Zak attended the University of Cincinnati in a paper toy class. He always knew the concept for Snappets would be a success, as did his professor receiving an A on the project! Fast forward to 2011 and multiple careers later, Zak was holiday shopping in Los Angeles and came upon a very clever and welldesigned static paper toy. Trying to impress his then-girlfriend-nowwife he said, I have designed a paper toy that not only moves but ALSO makes noise! She said, Show me. He went home, found the design, printed it out and constructed the toy that night! Her response: You HAVE to make these!! After revisiting the original design and refining it to its current incarnation the template for a new and improved Snappet was born. Over the last 3 years and a successful Kickstarter campaign (134% Funded!), Zak has turned that original class project into a real product! Now Zak has taken on the task of building the Snappets paper toy business one store and review at a time. The process has given Zak the opportunity to present Dinosaur Snappets - with great response - to first through fourth graders throughout Los Angeles. It has also helped build strong retail relationships as well as garner multiple reviews online! The success of Snappets paper toys is infectious with the typical response when someone gets one of the dinosaurs in their hands This is SO COOL!. From design to packaging, Snappets are crafted with love in Los Angeles, California. We are excited and LOVE Snappets and believe you will too! Screen shot of the successful Kickstarter campaign. 3

4 Snappets Reviews Snappets have already garnered a dozen reviews online! (Find the links to all of the press at: Below is a sampling of the write-ups: Jude of Artful Kids writes: Snappets themselves are a cleverly designed simple toy, which children construct themselves out of a large sturdy piece of paper which is printed in full colour on both sides. The accompanying simple instructions show you how to create a dinosaur head which fits over your fingers allowing you to operate the jaws and control the snapping action, which also creates a very satisfying snapping noise.

Each Snappet dinosaur comes with dino facts to help kids learn more about the puppet they are going to make. Plus, it s super fun to bring a flat sheet of paper into a 3D object with just a few folds and tucks. FULL review: Susen Kuchta of Dabbling Mama writes: Once your Snappet is together their are 2 triangle shapes where your thumb and pointer finger fit into. It was extremely easy to open and close the Dinosaurs mouth and I REALLY love the chomping sound the dinosaur makes. The sound really helps the puppet feel more real and interactive.
