Every day, children create entire worlds with a box of crayons and a wild imagination.
But what if we told you that their artwork could become something more — something real, something lasting?
What if your child could hold their imagination in their hands?
At DrawToy, we transform your child’s drawing into a one-of-a-kind 3D figurine — a personal keepsake, a creative milestone, and a confidence-boosting experience they’ll never forget.

1. It Builds Confidence and Self-Worth
Research shows that when children see their creative ideas brought to life, their self-esteem soars.
According to a 2019 study published in The Arts in Psychotherapy, creating physical representations of their ideas helps children feel seen, capable, and proud.
“When their imagination is validated, it deeply strengthens a child’s sense of confidence.”

2. It Helps Children Express Emotions
Kids don’t always have the words to explain how they feel. But drawings? They say a lot.
When a child’s artwork becomes a real figurine, it gives them an outlet to tell stories, share feelings, and connect with others — all in a way that feels natural and safe.
3. It Sparks Creativity and a Maker Mindset
Seeing their idea turned into a real object teaches kids that imagination has power.
It nurtures creative thinking, problem-solving skills, and what psychologists call a “sense of agency”, the belief that they can bring ideas to life.
4. It Becomes a Meaningful Keepsake
This isn’t just a toy.
It’s a moment in time , a physical memory of your child’s imagination, preserved forever.
Parents often tell us their DrawToy figurine becomes one of the most treasured items in the house.
5. It’s a Powerful Tool for Classrooms and Daycares
DrawToy isn’t just for home, schools and daycares can use our program to promote creativity, collaboration, and STEM learning.
Kids work together, learn about design and 3D printing, and feel a strong sense of ownership in what they’ve created.
