School’s out for the summer! Which means long, sunny days filled with possibility.
Before the kids break out the screens, inspire hands-on creative play with a series of 3D pen projects to encourage skill building and creative exploration.
Drawing and coloring are timeless activities but now kids can take creativity off the page with a 3Doodler 3D pen. Transform your ideas into tangible, three-dimensional masterpieces, letting kids (and adults!) create anything they can imagine.
Jump start summer fun with a few ideas to get those creative gears turning!
Your Summer’s Creative Sidekick
As educators, you know first-hand how important it is to offer options to encourage creative play and reduce summer learning loss. Introducing 3D pens to inspire learning at home, can help in many ways.
Boost STEM Skills (Without Even Knowing It): While doodling away, kids are subtly developing critical skills like spatial reasoning, problem-solving, fine motor control, and even basic engineering concepts. They’ll be designing structures and figuring out how to make them stable without realizing they’re learning!
Inspire Imaginative Play: From fantastical creatures to miniature models of dream vacation spots, the possibilities are only limited by what they can dream up. 3D pens offer a unique medium for artistic expression.
Portable & Versatile: 3Doodler 3D pens are compact and easy to take anywhere – whether you’re at the beach house, visiting grandparents, or just chilling in the backyard.
Instant Gratification: Designing with 3D pens provides an immediate result. Kids can see their ideas take shape right before their eyes, fostering a sense of accomplishment.
Oodles of 3D Pen Doodles
Ready to get started? Here are some exciting 3D pen project ideas perfect for summer:
Miniature Beach Scenes:
Create tiny palm trees, surfboards, flip-flops, and even little crabs or fish. You can then assemble them on a base to make a personalized beach diorama.
Pro Tip: Use blue filament for waves and clear/translucent for water effects!
Custom Keychains & Bag Tags:
Design personalized keychains with names, initials, or summer-themed icons like ice cream cones, popsicles, or suns. These make great gifts for friends or mementos of summer adventures!
Nature-Inspired Art:
“Draw” flowers, butterflies, or even intricate spiderwebs. Go on a nature walk and collect leaves or twigs for inspiration, then replicate them in 3D!
DIY Room Decor:
Craft unique picture frames to display summer memories. Design small decorative sculptures for shelves or desks, like abstract art pieces or geometric shapes. Create personalized pencil holders or small organizers for their summer reading nook.
Wearable Wonders:
With adult supervision, create unique earrings or pendants for necklaces. Design fun glasses or headbands for a quirky summer look (think oversized sunglasses or flower crowns!).
Bust summer boredom and embrace the world of three-dimensional possibility. 3Doodler 3D pens are a gateway to creativity and hours of screen-free fun. So, grab your pens, a rainbow of filaments, and let the summer doodling begin!
