It started with a free set of stencils that came with a magazine of an aircraft carrier. (Pretty damn awesome.) It later resurged due to Ninjatoes' King of Red Lion model. :)
In my case I started to make paper toys at a very early age. Which led me into the world of paper, scissors and glue was my mother.
But in the case of pre-printed models, started with a template that gave me my aunt, who sadly has died: (, when I was 6 years old. These templates were buildings that were mostly old castles. I searched these models for years, but have not found where they sell or where you can download.
More magazines should have papercraft bonuses! ;o)
If there are still any paper model kits sold in stores where I live, 90% of the time they are also of castles and (canal ;o) houses, but I really like the much bigger variety of paper models you can find online!
My sister once came across a toy store that had Hasbro's/MB's Foldin' Art animals though, and she got me the gorilla and elephant. ;o)
When I was a kid in elementary school, every month there was a schoolastic books order form that came home. Usually there was a punch out papercraft kit you could order and I would get them every month. My favorites were a robot that fired paper discs via rubber band and the BiPlane from "The Littles"

I think in my case is equivalent to option 2.
