Fun Time! A Children's Book That Is "The Little Prince" Of 3-D Printing!

"LEO the Maker Prince" is a book inspired by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry's 1943 children's classic "The Little Prince" and is intended to jump start your child's creative powers and process.

The story is told through a narrarator visited by a young prince from outer space who has recently crashed on Earth. The prince is given a drawing of a sheep, which he scans and then creates a model by 3D printing.

The really cool part of this is if the young reader has access to a real 3D printer. They can download files to print out all the characters of the book.

As the book's protagonist states, "I draw, he prints, and together we make."
