    In the 60’s:

    (Mattel) “You can make all kinds of lovely things like theses with Mattel’s wonderful ThingMaker.”

    Mattel allowed baby boomer kids to make bugs from plasti-goop poured into a mold and heated.

    The toymaker now coming out with a 3D toy printer, enabling today’s kids to design their own dolls, robots or wearables. The new ThingMaker premiers this week at the New York toy fair.

    A design app includes templates, or allows kids to come up with their own creations.
