Fun

Makedo is a super fun, hands-on making experience that ignites open-ended, immersive play.
Collaborative

Makedo experiences bring people together to create memorable moments.
Sustainable

Makedo tools are reusable and the making material is upcycled cardboard.
Educational

Makedo tools promote imagination, communication, creativity, collaboration, and critical thinking.
Safe

Makedo tools are custom designed to be safe and easy to use (global safety standards tested to age 3+).

What a great resource
My 2 and 4 year olds love Makedo from creating to painting their finished works.
Gets them out of the house and working together. I have also recommended it to their preschool.

Best Purchase Ever
This product is genius! I have 2 boys aged 6 and 8 and I have never seen them so obsessed with something. Their brains and bodies immediately went to work and I am very impressed with what they have come up with and how they can execute their ideas with the tools. I am going to tell everyone about this product and will be buying one for all the kids in my family.
