Costumes can be frightful or fun and we’re all about lending a bit of 3D pen design to each and every one.
Kids enjoy developing their own ideas for spooky, scary, or silly Halloween creativity, so encourage them to explore with a few projects to spark the imagination.
There’s something special about making a Halloween costume by hand, especially with a 3D pen. Explore our creepy crafts to ensure young learners can engineer their own costumes this October with tactile tech!
