No Way Kids Wouldn’t Love These 3D-Printed Toys

They say Christmas is for children and this is especially true here in the Philippines. Look around at any given day during the season and you will see kids being accompanied by parents to the malls and godparents preparing gifts. It is true that it is the time of the year when kids are kings and parents play by their rules.

Another proof that Christmas is for kids is the fact that when they grow old, receiving gifts from godparents becomes old-fashioned. Godparents would even joke about their godkids being old enough to buy them gifts instead.

When thinking of gifts for children, you have to consider a few things, including their age and preferences. It is important to give something that is age-specific. For example, giving a toy with small components to a two-year-old may not be a good idea because there is always the danger of swallowing and choking.

In the same way, there may be toys that a five-year-old would find boring. A small board game may look inviting to a 10-year-old, but to someone who had just learned how to walk, it means nothing. On one end, you can get something that would be suitable for children of any age. Think of an educational toy with no choking hazard. It allows any kid to enjoy the toy safely while learning.

If you want something personalized or perhaps you intend to get the same gift for different children, you can turn to 3D printing. Here are some toys you can 3D print and give to these adorable, little ones.

Action Figures – What kid doesn’t like a miniature representation of their favorite animated characters? They look up to their screen heroes so they sure want action figures of them to play with. Oftentimes, you see them carrying their Superman action figure anywhere they go.

Art Tools – If the kid is artistically inclined, there is no better gift than a drawing set. It may include pens, papers, and the likes. To a child, these are all toys. By giving art tools, you are teaching them to widen their imagination, and we all know creativity translates to many positive things.

Toy Musical Instruments – Any child who likes music would appreciate a ukelele or perhaps a smaller version of their favorite instrument. If they don’t have any yet, you can introduce the guitar or hand drums to them. Give the child a musical instrument, see what they do with it and you will be amazed.

Sporting Goods – For active kids, sporting equipment is the best gift. All you need to do is find out what sports they want. Of course, you can give a basketball and hoop to someone who is inclined to watching the NBA.

Puzzles – There are many kinds of puzzles. They vary in size, theme, difficulty, and more. One thing is for sure: when kids get their hands on puzzles, they are having the time of their lives while learning.
