The Woopie 3D pen lets you draw in the air: melted plastic filament sets quickly, and lines turn into three-dimensional shapes.

This 3D pen with LED display is a creative tool for children and adults. It heats up quickly and is ready in moments. Temperature and filament speed can be adjusted, so the pen suits beginners and experienced users alike. The LED display shows the settings. Included are three PLA filaments in different colours, each 3 m long and 1.75 mm in diameter, plus a USB cable and an English user manual. Use the 3D pen to make figures, jewellery, decorations or to fix small plastic items. The manufacturer states the device is safety certified. Children should use the pen with adult supervision, as the nozzle gets hot.

What your child develops

• Spatial imagination. Your child plans how lines become a shape.
• Manual dexterity. An even line needs a steady hand.
• Planning. More complex figures are built in parts.
• Patience. The filament has to set before the next step.

How to play

Start with a flat drawing over a paper template, like a star or heart. Once the plastic sets, lift the shape off and join it to other parts.

Later try drawing upwards to build a small tower or a butterfly with raised wings.
