Makedo

Tools, for kids, for cardboard.

Makedo cardboard construction kits provide the tools to invent, make and play with recycled cardboard. Build forts, cars, costumes, board games and organize engaging activities for kids and the whole family!

Makedo's genius comes from the fact that we learn by doing: by creating, experimenting, failing, reflecting, trying again and, perhaps, arriving at the solution. With a mission to reuse today to solve tomorrow, Makedo helps children develop the skills they need to solve the problems of our fast-changing world.

These kid-safe tool kits are perfect for families looking for a lasting, educational gift for kids aged 5 to 12.

How to choose the right Makedo kit?

The quantity of Makedo needed depends on the number of participants who will be working with Makedo at any given time, and the scale of the projects they will be undertaking. As a guideline, we recommend the following:

1 or 2 people: Explore kit (50 pcs)

2 to 5 makers: Discover kit (126 pcs)

To test the Makedo concept before jumping in with both feet, opt for the 36-pc Starter Kit, which includes 1 mini-tool and 2-length screws.

What is the suitable age range for Makedo?

Anyone over the age of 4 can Makedo. If you can imagine a cardboard box being something other than just 'a box', then you've just earned your license to Makedo!

General recommendations:

  • Aged 4+ can make with the assistance of an adult.
  • Aged 6+ can create independently.
  • Kids 3y or younger are not advised to have unsupervised access to Makedo.

What type of cardboard is best for Makedo?

Makedo tools and connectors are specifically designed for use with standard corrugated cardboard, a popular three-ply packaging material consisting of sturdy kraft paper outer layers, and a corrugated layer in between.

Makedo tools and Scru connectors can also be used on any other kind of cardboard! We recommend you try it yourself with the recycled materials you have access to.
