TECH 4 KIDS
Gemmies, by Tech 4 Kids, is a new craft and activity line that allows kids to make 3-D crystal gem creations. Kids can clip and connect gems and bands to make crystal pets, animals, flowers, and more. Gemmies Design Studio includes storage for the gems, light-up display stands, and a design mat. Gemmies are designed for kids ages 6 and up. The 3D Magic ImagiPen uses UV gel curing technology to let kids create up and build out, resulting in unique 3-D creations. The pen does not require heat, can inspire creative fun, and is designed for kids ages 8 and up. Fright Factory allows kids to create frightening 3-D creations using EwGoo UV curing gel. With creepy molds and the Fright Factory Creature Creator, kids can create insects, reptiles, bats, and more. Kids can place the stencil into the chamber, spin the crank, and watch as the electricity bolt lights up. Eventually, the EwGoo turns from ooey gooey gel to a hardened creation. This spooky activity is designed for kids ages 6 and up.
