An eight-year-old Singaporean boy, Lee Rui Qi, turned his passion for 3D printing into a small business by creating affordable, wiggly animal toys priced between $2 and $15. Inspired by the high cost of similar toys he saw abroad, Rui Qi used a 3D printer provided by his father to design and manufacture his own collection of miniature animals such as axolotls, whale sharks, and snakes. He showcased his products at the Singapore Kidpreneurs event, where children and teenagers aged five to 14 sold handmade or curated goods. Other items on display included DIY crafts, bracelets, embroidered badges, board games, and even a jello-making kit. The event aimed to teach young entrepreneurs practical skills such as pricing, customer interaction, and financial literacy through hands-on experiences. Participants also pitched their business ideas to a panel of experienced entrepreneurs. The initiative, founded by Jolene Ang, seeks to build confidence and essential life skills in children beyond traditional education.
