I love anything that’s going to assist students in executing mathematical outcomes. I wouldn’t share anything that I didn’t try and love... This makes drawing in 3D objects so easy!

@techy_teacher

Hey! I am so glad you took the risk and designed this little ripper! Having highly intellectually challenge and mostly non verbal students this was the be all and end all to them! Such creative kids seeing things in their minds but they have never been able to articulate those images and ideas onto paper!! Kylie thanks to you they now can! I have never seen them so happy! Honestly, thank you!

I just wanted you to know my order arrived and my students absolutely LOVED the Splats! We are practised using your video tutorials and then they were off, making their own designs.

Think of it as the Swiss Army knife of drawing tools, putting together all the necessary items to create 3D designs and artworks. It's cheap, portable and you can view a heap of free tutorials...
