My son quite enjoys art at school so I thought he’d enjoy trying the 3Doodler Start Essential Pen Set which is aimed at children aged 6-13 years of age. The set comes with a wireless 3Doodler Start Pen, USB charging cable, forty-eight coloured plastic strands in two packs, instruction leaflet and activity guide with ten activity templates. Once cooled, the plastic comes free of the paper it has been created on allowing you to move it around without it sticking. But if the amount of plastic rod left in is too short the only way to get it out is by pushing it out with the new rod colour. This extraordinary pen from this 3Doodler Start Essentials Pen Set is eco-friendly and BPA free – using an intelligently developed non-toxic bio-gradable plastic filament without any hot parts, mess-making glue, wires or extra fiddly parts to assemble.

It’s very easy to get started, turn the pen on and wait for the LED light to turn from red to green. You do need a good level of patience though as it does take time to create one of the stencil designs.

The pen encourages ingenuity, design, planning, construction and spatial awareness as a learning toy. Whether you're a hobbyist, DIYer, designer, or professional artist, the Create+ offers a whole new way to create and fix. It is a good idea to let your child have a practice, either in the activity book or on a piece of paper.
