#3DprintingToyAnimals

Want to put your 3D printer to good use. The Columbus based company IC3D has a crowdsourced project for people to print for the Toys for Tots collection https://www.ic3dprinters.com/2022-toys/ . They share files to you, you print them, then send them to a hub. Last year they did 69,000 toys. This year they hope for 75,000.

You don't HAVE to send them to Toys for Tots. You could find some files on Thingiverse to print, then give them to a local Christmas drive, like many of the food pantry's have.




Articulated animals are very fun to play with. Everybody loves a dinosaur or unicorn.

After you have done that, go ahead and print a bunch for your classroom. Have them in an accessible box. I think your kids will find many uses for them. Stop motion animation, props for pictures & videos.  Playful, creative scenes, things that open up the imagination and creativity.
