Makedo Explore | Upcycled Cardboard Construction Toolkit in Small Toolbox (50 Pieces) | STEM + STEAM Educational Toys for at Home Play + Classroom Learning | Reusable Tools for Boys and Girls Age 5+

The kids had a blast with this toolkit! They loved building, cutting, and putting together all sorts of cardboard creations. It was a perfect way to use up the boxes we had piled up around the house, and the tools are sturdy and easy for little hands to use. Great for encouraging creativity, STEM/STEAM learning, and just plain fun. Highly recommend for both home and classroom play!

Works great on cardboard, kept son busy for hours building a fort.

We were first introduced to these tools at a library program and knew that they would be a perfect birthday gift. Rainy days will never be dull again when we can spend time building with cardboard with these tools. Perfect for any age! (Well probably not itty bitty kids, but 3 or 4+!)

Purchased for 4 and 6 year old grandchildren. Love the idea, but they found the saw hard to use, and I did too. The problem is that it’s difficult to hold the cardboard firmly enough to make the cut. It keeps flopping over, making it hard to use. My scissors work better. The tool to make the hole and the fasteners work well though, so if I do the cutting with my scissors they are managing the rest.

The winner of Christmas day with fun still lasting months later!

This is a great starter set for anyone interested in trying this unique kit. It comes with short and long screws, as well as a cutter and screwdriver. It also comes with an extra tool for poking holes and screwing things together. So far, we have built a fort using boxes from around the house- especially old Amazon boxes. The creative ideas are endless. I love that their website has ideas and even allows you to submit your builds. The "knife" cuts easily but is completely safe- which is comforting with a toddler running around. Get this!!

How have we survived without this product in the past. The best things are the cardboard saw easy to use with safety lesson. Kids loved punching holes with the tools then screwing and unscrewing in the 2 different sized bolts. Even my 1 1/2 year old got the concept of screwing in screwing out with the enclosed tools. Older kids did get a little more elaborate with their projects but such a fun product.

It was quite difficult for me (an adult) to cut through a regular Target shipping box using this saw, and within my first few attempts, I had cut the side of my finger…not great

This has been one of our most used items, my daughter can spend days crafting and creating with waste cardboard. The little saw is child safe, and with a little bit of parental help you can engineer almost anything. The cardboard can still be recycled as you can take out the screws for use next time. This kit on its own has been enough for us, but we may look into buying additional pieces for bigger creations.

Das Makedo Explore Set ist eine großartige Möglichkeit, Kinder kreativ werden zu lassen! Unser Kind liebt es, aus recycelter Pappe eigene Projekte zu bauen und zu gestalten. Das Set enthält alle wichtigen Werkzeuge in einem praktischen kleinen Werkzeugkasten, der leicht zu handhaben und kindersicher ist. Die Werkzeuge sind stabil und kindgerecht, sodass auch kleinere Kinder selbstständig basteln können. Besonders toll ist, dass das Set nachhaltig aus recycelten Materialien hergestellt ist ein echter Pluspunkt für Umweltbewusstsein schon bei den Kleinsten. Die Anleitung bietet viele Ideen, regt aber auch dazu an, eigene Projekte zu entwickeln. Das Basteln fördert Feinmotorik, Kreativität und Problemlösungsfähigkeiten auf spielerische Weise. Fazit: Ein tolles Set für kleine Erfinder und Bastler, das Spaß macht, lehrreich ist und umweltfreundlich produziert wurde. Absolute Empfehlung für Kinder ab ca. 4 Jahren!

Kids love it. Hours of entertainment. Safe for little hands

Estimula la creatividad, muy divertido para niños a partir de 4 o 5 años

Super produit, tout fonctionne bien et le système est simple à utiliser. Dommage qu’il n’y ait pas plus d’accessoires dans la boîte ni d’exemples faciles à suivre pour démarrer. Ça reste une excellente base pour bricoler et laisser libre cours à la créativité.
