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+

This is an excellent kit for building with cardboard with your child. The saw is made of metal, but is rounded to a safe level for young children, and each tool has a poke tool on the end for poking holes! We built a castle my son could fit in. He's been playing and rough housing in it for 3 days straight, and the screws are still holding it together! The cardboard hasn't lost it's integrity, and when it's a rambunctious 4 year old playing in it, that means a lot!

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.

My daughter loves building with these. It is such fun activity! And I feel safe that she won't hurt herself!

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!!

These are quite possibly some of the best toys for open ended play I've encountered so far in my nearly 15 years of being a parent of 4. Our entire family (parents and grandparents too!) has spent countless hours building things with these together and kids that come over to play are wildly excited about the cool things that can be built with these too. They lock cardboard together with incredible sturdiness and they're just fun to create with! The saw gives kids a chance to do cutting safely without slipping scissors or knives which empowers independent play and creativity. I would say that having the perforator tool is vital and my only wish is that it came with the basic set, but it was well worth the extra purchase as an add on!

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!

Muy entretenido, fomenta la creatividad

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.

Bought as a gift and they loved it. Great to get the imagination going and build things out of cardboard you would just throw out.
