3Doodler Start+ Essentials 3D Pen for Kids | Easy to Use, Learn from Home Art Activity, Educational STEM Toy for Boys & Girls Ages 6+

The 3Doodler Start+ Essentials set is a fantastic art activity for kids. It’s very easy to use, heats at a safe low temperature, and works perfectly for learning and creating at home. My child picked it up quickly and enjoyed making simple 3D projects right away. The pen feels sturdy, and the included materials are enough to get started without needing extra purchases. Great for creativity, STEM learning, and screen-free fun. Highly recommended for kids and beginners.

My son is 8 years old. He loved this pen, however it stopped working about a week or two after it was purchased. It somehow became jammed and we couldn't fix it. I found out through another amazon review that their customer service was great and I'm so glad I saw that! I contacted them easily by phone, spoke with Charlie, who was so kind, and he proceeded to email me, walking through the process of trying to fix the pen. Once they realized the pen was not fixable, they sent us a replacement within a couple days! So excited for my son to be able to use this pen again!

This is the coolest toy! I bought this for my 5 year old and she spent hours playing with it. It is very user friendly and simple to set up. I love that it heats up but doesnt get hot at all to the touch. The plastic flows out super smoothly and hardens quickly, it doesn't make much of a mess at all. The colors come out the same as the sticks you use, there are no weird smells. I had a ton of fun with it as well as an adult. The sticks do go quick so I would recommend buying extra sticks when you purchase the doodler. There are plenty of options of all price ranges on Amazon for more sticks. Highly recommend this for ages 5 and up!

This was my first time ever touching a 3D pen, so I went into it with zero expectations and a whole lot of curiosity. And honestly? It surprised me. I know, I know it was for kids...but, hey we all have to start someone and don't have the funds to be shelling out for the big kid toys. The pen itself is lightweight, easy to hold once you figure out your grip, and simple enough that a kid could use it — which works for me because I wanted something beginner-friendly before committing to the big, grown-up 3D printers. And one more little tad bit info...the pen tip stays warm, so you still want to keep it away from small kids while it’s running. It’s safe, just not something you leave sitting around unattended. It does take a minute to get your hand steady and learn when to cut the flow so you’re not left with extra strings. My first little flower looks like it’s fighting for its life, but that’s a “me” issue, not a pen issue. The pen feeds the filament smoothly, heats up fast, and is perfect for practicing techniques or sketching out small prototype ideas before moving to anything serious. The only thing I’ll say is: don’t expect professional-level lines right out the box. This is a true starter tool — but for the price and for learning the basics? It does exactly what it needs to do. Solid pen, no regrets.

Kid loves it! Works great. Comes out pretty smooth. A little learning curve but easy to use. Doesn’t get too hot for little fingers at all - only the melted plastic gets a little hot but hasn’t burned my kid at all. Great product. Good quality. Buy lots of filament. It goes fast!

It is good for a starter. Charge does not last long. Limited supply of colors. Probably will do 5-6 small projects. Could be cheaper for what it does and what you get. Did not feel strong smell. Functions as advertised. Clogging needs routine cleaning. Cartridge fits well. Takes time to be solid and stay in shape.

I got this for my 7 year old and he loves it. He's created some really neat things on his own. It's easy to use and the doodler doesn't get hot enough to burn your fingers, making it very kid friendly. The colors are good, I wish they came with a little more vibrant ones though. All in all it's a great gift. Only negative feedback would be the battery life. Seems like you only have enough to do one project on a full charge.

Best gift ever! My 7 year old grandson picked it up immediately, and was able to start by drawing a straight line, then a circle, and then realized he can put them together and do a beautiful bouquet of flowers with mixed colors! Imagination can run wild. If you can dream it, you can make it! Also, the battery length is sufficient, to be able to get through a small project before having to recharge. But it does recharge pretty quickly as well! Looking to buy a bigger doodle sheet, and glad that I bought the extra filaments to start with!
