With a Twinkl subscription, you’ll unlock access to a growing library of over 400 3D and Augmented Reality (AR) models. From the structure of Earth to Viking longboats, butterflies to battleships, and even human organs, there’s something here to spark curiosity and inspire learners of all ages.
What Are Twinkl’s 3D and AR Models?
Our incredible 3D and AR model collection was designed by experienced educators and creative 3D artists to help bring learning to life. Whether you're teaching in the classroom or exploring a topic at home, these models offer an immersive way to engage learners in a wide range of subjects.
Use the 3D models on individual devices or display them on an interactive whiteboard for whole-class learning. You can zoom in, spin, and rotate the models to explore every angle, making lessons more dynamic and interactive.
Want to take it a step further? Augmented Reality blends the 3D model with your real-world surroundings. This lets students see what it’s like to hold a Viking ship in their hands or stand beside a volcano in their own classroom.
