Cardboard construction kit

Our cardboard construction kit allows you to turn everyday recycled cardboard into almost anything you can imagine! The beauty of creating with cardboard is it’s free, accessible and familiar. Plus there’s the added bonus that it can be coloured in and decorated! 
 
Cardboard is the perfect tool for budding inventors, engineers and creative minds to design, build and reinvent, again and again! With cardboard, you’re safe to make mistakes (you can just get another piece if you do!), which makes prototyping inventions, and ideas less intimidating and permanent. The design process and iteration is simple with cardboard because it’s so easy to manipulate. And no pesky sticky tape needed!
 
With over 50 pieces of pre-cut cardboard and a full set of tools to fold, cut and join cardboard pieces together, you can create, construct and invent from the moment you open the box!

Key features:
Fosters sustainability awareness: by up-cycling cardboard into new creations, children learn the value of sustainability, reusing materials and reducing waste while they build.
Endless reuse & recycling: pieces can be reconfigured again and again, or recycled once play is done with no single-use plastic or sticky tape in sight!
Open-ended, imaginative play: children can create almost anything they can dream of. In charge of their own creative projects, they learn there's no "right" way to build.
Perfect for young inventors & engineers: cardboard is forgiving and low-stakes, so kids can prototype, test, fail, and try again without fear of "ruining" anything.
Builds dexterity & fine motor skills: folding, cutting, and joining pieces with the included tools strengthens hand-eye coordination and fine motor control.
Safe, child-friendly tools (recommended for ages 4+): the Makedo Safe-Saw, Scru-Driver, Fold-Roller, and mini-tools are designed for little hands to fold, cut, and join cardboard safely and independently.
No sticky tape needed: the Makedo Scru and 3Dux Design cardboard connectors means clean, sturdy joins without mess or waste.
Customisable & creative: cardboard can be coloured, painted and decorated, and pulled apart and made into something new over and over!
Simple design & iteration process: cardboard is easy to manipulate, making it ideal for testing ideas, redesigning, and learning through trial and error.
