1. Manipulator
With these hands, children will feel like a robot (Source:ElCarlos via printables）
The robotic hand is a print-in-place project, meaning the frame, tendons, fingers, and joints are all printed simultaneously. All you have to do is pull the middle loop to connect the fingers so your child can dress up or play like a robot.
Single useWhen printing hands with PLA, the tendons can break easily. To solve this problem, the designers provided a separate file for the individual cables. So if a tendon breaks, you can easily print a replacement.
Finally, the printing parameters shown in this production are yours to succeedA good starting point for 3D printing robotic hands. The only small problem you might encounter is that releasing and rotating the thumb can be a little tricky.
2. Velociraptor doll

It is not a simple impression because it consists of severalMade up of 3D printed parts, but definitely worth it. If your kids are interested in dinosaurs, this is a perfect 3D printing project as it will make a fantastic poseable toy.
A fun idea is to print multiple dinosaur parts using different colored filaments so that the body parts can be mixed and matched to create a dinosaur with a unique personality. Then, like the model designer, you can stick to metallic silver, copper, and gold for the body parts to give it a robotic look.
Designers use at jointsVelociraptor is printed in PLA and nylon with a layer height of 0.2mm for durability and reinforcement. However, you can easily print all parts using PLA.
3. Butterfly automaton
You can spend hours watching this butterfly flap its wings (Source:gzumwalt via YouTube）
The design is a beautiful butterfly automaton, manually operated by a crank, and entirely3D printing – no additional parts or components required.
The manufacturer even shared a video showing theDigital rendering of 3D model with completed printed motion for easy viewing and understanding. Kids will love putting it on the shelf to play and play with.
One thing to keep in mind is that the model requires high precision printed parts to fit correctly and move smoothly. Alternatively, some post-processing techniques can help.
4. Rolling Stone Maze
Children will have fun trying to balance the maze and bring the marbles to the end (source:JBear via printables）
This is a building maze that requires no glue or materials to put together, making it the perfect project for kids. The choice of maze color is up to you, but if you are looking for print settings and component information, the manufacturer has provided detailed information.
If your child has mastered this maze and can complete it without difficulty, you can print this remixed version, which adds a bit of challenge by introducing holes in the platforms. So be careful where you lead your marbles: either you’re safe, or you have to start again!
5. Party Glasses
A party with these glasses will undoubtedly be unforgettable (Source:__sh via printables）
This is a one-of-a-kind pair of glasses with interchangeable lenses that come in a variety of sizes or can be custom-fit to the user.
As you can see, different lens designs are produced using different infill patterns and printing densities. Not only that, you can also add your own custom design such as any pattern, text or art, similar toricky0351 posted a drawing with “Cha-Cha” written on the lens.
Designers recommend usingPETG prints glasses with a 50% infill rate. Lenses can be printed in PLA with your preferred infill patterns and percentages, but without any top or bottom layers. With these, your child will be the star of the party!
6. Finger shovel
Within reach for one-handed diggers (Source:jeh241_makestuff, from Thingiverse)
This model is a smaller version of the popular sandbox digging toy, made entirely fromMade from 3D printed parts, its movement can be controlled with fingers.
Once all the parts are printed, all you have to do is hammer a few stakes into the links, arms and shafts to assemble this digging toy. Your child can do this easily under supervision.
