    - At second-hand box suppliers 
    - At cardboard recycling plants 
    - From cardboard manufacturers

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

    Children aged 7+ can make independently.

    The Best Inspirational “Toy” ever created!

    This inspires creativity, focus, and results in satisfaction for kiddos! My 4 and 6 year old grandsons spent 5 hours sorting thru cardboard, imagining what they would build, looking thru the house for possible recyclable materials, and creating a park bench and a robot. This is the best inspirational toy ever produced!

    Thank you for taking the time to leave a review, Marci! We're so pleased that your grandsons are enjoying their Makedo Tools, and it's wonderful to see happy little makers getting involved in some amazing imaginative creativity at home.
    It seems like the robot and park bench are just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to their wonderful imaginations. We hope you all continue to enjoy your creative fun with the tools, and we can't wait to hear about your future adventures!

    Fun for all ages!

    My boys loved using the kit to build a fort! I loved using it as an art teacher to construct EVERYTHING! I really underestimated how fun the kit is and will be getting one for the classroom!

    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.
