Review: The IDO3D Vertical 3D Drawing Pens

IDO3D VerticalWe review the IDO3D Vertical 3D Drawing Pens. We received this from RedwoodVentures for free in order to play with and provide an honest review. Opinions are 100% my own.

The IDO3D Vertical was a fun experiment with the kids. They had a nice time creating all sorts of things. Eva filled up the plastic mold for a face of a character instead of using the outside. She wanted to make a cauldron because she has been reading Harry Potter and so that was a big influence on her creations. She also made a wand. Andrew was way more freeform in his creating. He went vertical and created some fun things.

I think that the IDO3D Vertical would be great for an older kid. Eva is at the right age to start using this but Andrew needs a few more years to really get the hand of it. It is a nice product for kids to get crazy creative. It does take some finesse and practice but it was still fun for the kids.

Here is the official description of the IDO3D Vertical and then our video review: IDO3D Vertical enables children to draw and sculpt in mid-air using cool 3D ink that turns from liquid to solid instantly! Kids can use the familiar form factor of a pen to draw numerous designs, either from their own imagination or from the 3D Guidebooks that are included with each set. IDO3D Vertical includes a variety of colors, themes and activity packs.

First Day of School 2016

Photo-A-Day #4157

Today was the first day back to school for Eva and Allison. I took photos before school and then they were off. Andrew and I had our first day together in a long while. We worked on a couple of videos. He helped me do some trick shots from the Trick Shot Sports toys. It was a lot of fun working on this and he liked it very much.

Andrew and I picked Eva up at her half day. We went back to the house and Eva helped me start another review and that is something that I’m so excited to show you when it comes out.

When Allison came home we went to our favorite Chinese restaurant for dinner. We were joined by my mom and dad and sister, Tara. Dinner was a great one. Everyone had a good time and we tried a bunch of new things. We still got our old standbys and favorites but there were new choices as well.

The school year is getting underway. Andrew is one week out from his first day and on his first day he is going to choose dinner. Next year we will celebrate on the same day.
