Scru
The heart of the Makedo cardboard construction system. Easily and firmly connect layers of cardboard with the Scru. Completely reusable, just a few quick turns and the Scru is released.

Connect up to five layers of corrugated cardboard or attach 3d printable Makedo parts such as hinges and angle brackets.

Always on hand for extra makers, it’s a Scru-Driver made mini.

You have questions... we have answers!

Frequently Asked Questions

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)

4-8 makers / family + friends: 1x Create kit (260 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.

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.

Fantastic creative play
My granddaughter (aged4) and I spent many hours building a house today having just opened the new makedo box. We had so much fun and it was so easy to use. My only query would be to wish for a basic ideas on how best to fix the cardboard together. Just to give you a clue when you first open it. With also a few ideas for the children to see. But on the whole a fabulous idea which you can use and re-use.
One big house built and painted in 4 hours. Brilliant fun.

The best gift we’ve given our grandchildren!
After a recommendation from friends, we bought a medium sized set of Makedo for all of our grandchicks to play with at our house. (I compared it with similar toys on line first but Makedo is the only one I found with no one star reviews.) As soon as our eight year old grandchild realised the potential of it their reaction was, “Mum, I need this! Please will you buy me a set for my birthday?!” Obviously, as grandparents we were delighted to surprise him with it on his birthday.
Our set has been used at every family gathering, including in the garden (loads of cardboard saved ready) for my husband’s 70th birthday. Such fun, with endless potential! Thank you.
