    - In your home recycling bin
    - At the grocer
    - At the hardware store 
    - Near the loading bay at most supermarkets

    - At bicycle and appliance stores  
    - At second-hand box suppliers 
    - At cardboard recycling plants 
    - From cardboard manufacturers

    Great addition to our basic set

    I had first used Makedo tools at the local primary school I work out. After becoming a grandparent and once my grandson reach an appropriate age, I purchased a set for him. We have enjoyed many hours making forts, cars, armour, planes, basketball hoops and puppet theatres. The hardest thing is disassembling our creations so the additional screws are great. Highly recommend Makedo. Hours of fun and imagination.

    Thank you for taking the time to leave a review, Daniel. Wow! What amazing creations your grandson has made already. He seems to be a very seasoned maker indeed, and we can't wait to hear more about his playful cardboard adventures soon. It's wonderful to hear that you were able to try out some tools at your local primary, and we're always proud to know that our community of makers is having fun getting creative at school, at home, and all together with their families.
