The Make Do Toolkits are innovative and engaging, encouraging children to get hands-on and constructive by upcycling boxes and other cardboard into an endless array of creations! The Discover Construction Toolkit comes with everything a child (or an enthusiastic grown up!) could need to transform the ordinary into the extraordinary by cutting, connecting and creating!
The Explore Construction Toolkit includes:
- 1 x 'Safe-saw'
- 1 x 'Scru-driver'
- 36 x 'Scru' (small blue plastic screws for fixing cardboard pieces together)
- 1 x Bonus 'Mini tool'
- 12 x 'Scru ' (longer plastic screws used with the Mini Tool)
Using all these tools engages 'Practical Life' experiences alongside the artistic endeavour of imagining a new creation and the engineering expertise of bringing that vision to life!
Discover the fun of cardboard construction with our small group kit for families and friends to think outside the (cardboard) box. Bring the family together to cut, fold, and connect with upcycled cardboard, and take imagination, making, and play to the next level. Make anything from a flower to a fort, a mask to a maze. Cardboard construction has never been this simple, safe and effective.
This amazing set helps to promote sustainable thinking and practices by helping children to understand that 'waste' does not need to be discarded, it can be reused and repurposed.
It's also a fantastic STEM (science, technology, maths, engineering) experience, as children engage the thought-processes and physical skills associated with designing and engineering their own buildings, objects, inventions or simple moving 'machinery'.
The open-ended nature of this set makes it absolutely perfect for collaboration and cooperation. Whether it's a group of children working together in the classroom, or a family connecting over some cardboard creativity at home, it's the perfect way to foster fun and focused friendship!
Recommended for ages 5
Please note - cardboard is NOT included in the set, you will need to gather and use your own! Please see the product images for some inspiration and ideas for various creations that can be made using the kit and card!
Did you know the cardboard box has been inducted into the National Toy Hall of Fame?
Kids love their boxes! Gift them this starter toolbox of Makedo to take that love of making and play into another realm of imagination. This is pure, no-tech (but tech-friendly) fun for girls and boys. Simple and safe, cardboard construction has never been this easy. Anything is possible from a gnome to a knight, a critter to a castle as the happy makers up-cycle, up-skill, problem solve and develop critical 21st century thinking skills.
