Some examples are books, cups, tables, balls, and boxes.

Basically, 3D objects are solid objects which are not flat.
Flat shapes (often called two-dimensional or 2D) can only be defined by length and width. An example is this rectangle below.

You will notice that if we tried to pick up this rectangle, it would look and feel flat and thin, and not have much 'body' to it.
If you are unsure if an object is 3D or not, the best way to check is by looking at its components or parts. Click below to have a look at what the components of 3D objects are.
