+ Color It! Pig, Dog and Sheep

Oinkie-the-pig-in-grass

Oinkie-the-pig-coloring

We've been going nuts about drawing for a while with our Draw It! Contest and the Co-Design with Children ideas.

Now we have three great products that can also turn a drawing into a Full Color 3D print.

Wooly the Sheep, Wiggle the Dog and Oinkie the Pig can all be “colored in” by your child.

How does it work?

1 - Download any of our three coloring sheets
2 - Ask your child to color it in
3 - Take a picture or scan it, then upload it to Shapeways and order it
4 - Shapeways will turn your child's drawing into a 3D printed Sheep, Dog or Pig
5 - Within 15 working days you get your child's artwork delivered at home. You can now treasure the memory in the years to come.
 

+ Colors will be replaced

 coloring will be replaced
