Even before my Glowforge arrived, my 7 year old boy knew the first project he wanted to do on the laser, once I explained everything it was capable of.
His 2nd grade teacher loves hedgehogs and he wanted to draw her one. Well, I think he did a great job!
Then, 5 year old daughter got the idea to draw a flower for her teacher. She chose a variation of a daisy that we saw online as a reference, and drew it on a piece of paper. Then, I traced it and cut it out of proofgrade medium draftboard:
I should have told her to make the stem a little thicker, as it is quite thin. But I love how it turned out! I’m amazed at how fast you can go from an idea to drawing to actual item!
Thanks so much! I really want to involved them when possible. The funny thing is they both like watching the timer on the print count down about as much as the actual laser.
