Abstract
A kit and method for creating a 3-dimensional toy includes a battery powered light, a container filled with a light curable polymer and one or more molds into which the light curable polymer is inserted. Optimal the kit may also include one or more sheets of transparent material to which the light curable polymer does not adhere and coloring which can be added to the light curable polymer. The method of forming a the 3-dimensional toy involves obtaining a mold, dispensing a light curable polymer into the mold; and then curing the polymer by applying light in the visible or near visible range to the polymer via a battery powered light.

A kit for creating a 3-dimensional toy, comprising:
- a separate battery powered flashlight;
- a separate container filled with a light curable polymer;
- a plurality of separate perimeter only molds into which the light curable polymer is inserted to define only the sides of the toy;
- and
- at least one sheet upon which the molds can be placed to define the bottom of the toy and to which the light curable polymer does not adhere.
A kit for creating a 3-dimensional toy comprising:
- a separate battery powered flashlight;
- a separate container filled with a light curable polymer;
- a plurality of separate perimeter only molds each forming an aperture which defines the sides of the molds into which the light curable polymer is inserted;
- a separate transparent sheet upon which the molds can be placed to define the bottom of the toy and to which the light curable polymer does not adhere;
- and
- separate coloring, all contained within a single package.
A method of forming a 3-dimensional toy from a kit comprising a battery powered flashlight, a container filled with a light curable polymer, one or more molds into which the light curable polymer is inserted, and separate package of coloring, all contained within a single package, the method comprising the following steps:
- a. opening the package and obtaining one of the molds;
- b. dispensing the light curable polymer from the container into the obtained mold;
- c. adding the coloring to the light curable polymer after the light curable polymer has been dispensed and before curing;
- and
- d. curing the light curable polymer by applying light in the visible or near visible range to the light curable polymer via the battery powered flashlight.
