Most people complete the Zen Capybara in about 2 hours, making it a perfect weekend or afternoon project.

Absolutely! This kit is one of our most popular choices for first-timers, including both kids (we recommend ages 8 and up) and adults.
There's no cutting or scoring involved. Every piece is pre-cut, pre-creased, and numbered.
You just need to fold along the lines and glue the matching numbers together.
The step-by-step instructions are clear and designed to make the process fun and rewarding, not frustrating.
Yes! While the kit comes in a lovely pearlescent brown, the paperboard is great for customization.
For a smooth, even finish, light coats of spray paint work wonderfully after the model is fully assembled and the glue is dry.
Markers and acrylic paints are also great for adding unique patterns or details.
We highly recommend testing your paint on the included practice mini-heart model first to see how it looks!
Caring for your finished capybara is very simple. To remove dust, use a soft, dry paintbrush, a gentle cloth, or a can of compressed air held at a distance.
Please avoid using any chemical cleaning sprays or water, as they can damage the paper and its finish.
