    Love the new kit!

    We bought the discovery kit to replace our 10+ years old Makedo. Love the improved pieces and the perforating tool is awesome. Puppet Theatre/cafe is getting well used.

    Design, Build and have lots of fun

    Bought a set for my two grandsons aged 4 and 2, wasn't expecting the younger one to be totally involved but hoped he might just like doing a bit of sawing, creasing and using the circle key to make holes in the cardboard. However, both boys were totally entranced with being able to saw the cardboard and then join pieces together, they both recited "lefty loosey and righty tighty" throughout our first build.

    Love it

    This is a great kit that has everything you need to start with! I like that it has the carry tray and two different size screws. It’s a good way to start building. Such a fun thing to do with my kid!
