I usually start each class with a 5 minute quiz on what was learned the day before, its called bell work as it starts when the bell rings. The holder simply keeps a stack of about 30 pieces of paper in a way that makes taking one easy since it is sometimes hard to take just one from a pile of paper lying flat on a table.
The model is in three pieces, printed flat. The figures are forcibly pushed into the base (this model has zero tolerance between the pegs and the holes) so it is a very tight fit, I tapped it in with a small hammer.
The figure is a character from Nintendo and is copyrighted to them.
The author hasn't provided the model origin yet.
