Abstract
A kit or device which can be used by children to create artistic forms from sheets of paper. The kit includes a cutting portion which can be manually operated to cut strips from a sheet of paper and also a portion for creating corrugations and/or curls in paper, such as the cut strips. The cutting portion generally includes a plurality of cutting wheels mounted on separate horizontal parallel shafts for rotation therewith such that the side edges of the cutting wheels on the separate shafts are in cutting proximity with regard to each other. The cutting wheels are contained within an upstanding frame portion secured to a base. The spaced shafts are geared to each other so that manual rotation of one shaft is sufficient to rotate all cutting wheels. The frame portion has a side opening or slot at the cutting level so that a sheet of paper of any width can be accommodated during the cutting operation. A horizontally slidable or adjustable upstanding guide plate is provided to adjust the width of at least one strip of paper cut from the sheet or to eliminate the cutting of at least one strip.
