In Paperopolis, the animated Ted the Toad guides the user through the world of Paperopolis, which contains a variety of origami patterns which may be printed out and folded. Some of the patterns can be customized with pictures before printing, so the folded object will have the chosen picture on it.

The patterns are arranged in the world of Paperopolis with similar patterns together--for example, there's an aircraft hangar containing all the paper airplane patterns. Ted provides commentary on each pattern, along with a few words for each area. [source:mobygames]
