Creating Joy. One Toy at a Time.

3D Printing Elves began with a spark — and two hearts committed to making a difference.

Since 2021, Vince and Allyson used their 3D printers to create toys for local children in need. What started as a small act of service soon revealed a much bigger truth: that many children in our community go without the simple joy of play.

In 2024, they founded 3D Printing Elves, a 501(c)(3) non-profit, turning that grassroots effort into a nonprofit with a mission to serve children across Fresno and Madera Counties — especially those in foster care, shelters, or under-resourced schools.


The Heart Behind the Elves


We believe that every child deserves to play, no matter their background, their challenges, or their circumstances.

Play is not a luxury.

It’s how children heal, learn, connect, and hope.

For children who have faced trauma, displacement, or hardship, receiving a toy is more than a moment of happiness — it’s a message that they are seen, valued, and worthy of joy.

That’s why we do what we do: to deliver not just toys, but possibility, laughter, and belonging.
