One good thing about the Internet is the speed at which you can find fun activities for your kids (or yourself). Paper toys are one of my favorite thing. Once kids get tired of them or (the more likely scenario) they tear up, you can just throw them in the recycling bin (or garbage can if there is a lot of tape on them). One site I go to for paper toys is The Toymaker, which is the site of children's author Marilyn Scott Waters, and her May newsletter is up here. She also has free paper toys to print and make. We especially like the marble mice (they really roll, with the help of a marble) and the Brownie math toys. The penny butterflies are amazing as well.
Here is a video review of The Toymaker book of paper toy projects. Some of these projects, and more, are on The Toymaker web site.
