We had a great time trying out the #3DoodlerStart 3D pen from #3Doodler, thanks to #Tryazon. The pen is super easy and fun to use. My daughter loved imagining herself as a Powerpuff girl. How will you #PowerpuffYourself?!
The 3Doodler Start is a fun tool for kids to create their own 3D objects. I like the Powerpuff Activity Set because it provides a little inspiration/guidance for my kids while allowing them to still express their own creativity. The pen itself is pretty simple to use. It charges with a power cord, but is cordless when you're using it. It fits well in all hand sizes. There is an on/off switch and a single button for operating the extruder. The plastic comes out at a good rate, in my opinion - it's not too fast to control. The tip gets warm, but not too hot for kids. While it was on, I could touch the tip without any problem. My kids had fun with it, but had a little bit of trouble keeping the tip at a good distance from the plastic they'd already doodled. This led to less-than-smooth results, but the kids didn't mind. The plastic strands were used up quickly, so be prepared to use A LOT of plastic to make these Powerpuff Girls. The flat molds that come with it are easy to use and make doodling easier for me. The head mold was tricky - the plastic didn't stick to it well, so I found myself trying to hold the mold, the plastic, and the 3Doodler all at once. It got tricky. Overall, we had a fun time learning to use this. I would say this would be great for kids 7 to 10 years old.
