    ✨ Kid-Approved Fun ✨

    I’ve got three kids, ages 1 to 8, and let me tell you, these products are seriously awesome. My kids were lucky enough to be gifted a few Makedo products for Christmas and they were all obsessed from the minute we opened the box; even my littlest one could get involved (with a little help, of course). Yesterday they spent hours creating swords and shields, and even little aliens to battle. They're learning teamwork and problem-solving skills and have a constant, creative outlet with a resource that can be used over and over again.

    If you're looking for something that'll keep the whole crew entertained and doing their part for the planet, Makedo is the way to go.

No, we only sell the tools for cardboard construction - to safely cut and connect.


In the spirit of making do, you need to find the cardboard locally.


Here are a few ideas for where to find good cardboard:


- In your home recycling bin
- At the grocer
- At the hardware store 
- Near the loading bay at most supermarkets 
- From picture framers
- At bicycle and appliance stores  
- At second-hand box suppliers 
- At cardboard recycling plants 
- From cardboard manufacturers

The amount of Makedo you need depends on the number of people who will be working with Makedo at any given time and also the scale of what they are working on. As a rough guide we recommend the following: 


1-2 makers: 1x Explore kit (50 pieces)


2-5 makers / family group: 1x Discover kit (126 pieces)


12-24 makers / classroom: 1x Invent kit (360 pieces)


Top up your collection:
Additional packs of Makedo Scru connectors and individual tools are also available from our online store. 

Anyone over the age of four can Makedo. If you are able to imagine that a cardboard box can be something other than ‘a box', then you have just earned your License to Makedo!

General recommendations:

Children aged 4+ can make with the assistance of an adult.
Children aged 7+ can make independently.
Children 3 years or younger are not advised to have unsupervised access to Makedo.

Older siblings, parents, neighbours and friends are all encouraged to join in too!

What can you make? What can't you make! 


With Makedo cardboard construction tools, makers of all ages can join cardboard together quickly, cleanly and easier than ever before.


To see some of the fantastic ideas for creations from Makedo makers across the globe, head to our Inspiration HUB.

Makedo strives to support children and adults all over the globe to become 21st century thinkers!

We believe when people are making and playing freely they are solving problems, exploring new ideas, stretching their imagination, developing new skills, testing their limits, tapping into their instincts, collaborating and innovating.

These are all good things and we want to foster more of it.

Why Makedo?

The awesomeness of Makedo is that we learn by doing; creating, experimenting, failing, thinking, recreating and maybe solving. With Makedo, learners can explore their ideas and hypotheses in an open-ended, hands on way that engenders a deeper understanding of concepts with application to real-life scenarios.
