Abstract
Around 15% of the population has some kind of disability, of which 240 million are children. They are a part of every community, and the way society approaches and embraces them defines children’s ability to participate and develop. Toys have a huge impact on children’s cognitive development, senses, and creativity, as well as teaching them about themselves and their surroundings. Actually, kids build skills naturally through play. 3D printing as a fast-growing technology has also found its use in education, and it is especially beneficial for printing toys for children with disabilities because the materials used are recyclable and eco-friendly and can be created in accordance with their needs.
