Makedo Create Kit

Transform ordinary cardboard boxes into exciting STEM, Design & Technology and creative projects with the Makedo Create Kit. Designed for collaborative building, the kit provides everything needed to safely cut, connect and construct imaginative cardboard creations, turning everyday packaging into vehicles, costumes, structures, inventions and more. Suitable for ages 4+. Children aged 4-6 will benefit from adult assistance, while ages 7+ can typically build independently. Adult supervision is recommended where appropriate.

The Makedo Create kit is perfect for classrooms, makerspaces, STEM clubs and home learning, the Create Kit encourages creativity, problem solving and engineering thinking through hands-on construction. Children can explore design ideas, test structures and develop practical making skills while working independently or as part of a team. Educators can further extend learning with the free resources available on the Makedo Resources Hub, which includes project ideas, activities and inspiration for cardboard construction.

Using Makedo’s reusable Scru connectors and child-friendly building tools, cardboard can be cut, folded and fastened together without glue, tape or complicated assembly methods. This makes projects easy to modify, improve and rebuild, helping learners embrace experimentation and iterative design.

By giving new life to boxes and packaging that might otherwise be discarded, the Create Kit also promotes sustainability and resourcefulness. From castles and market stalls to robots, habitats and working prototypes, it’s an engaging way to combine creativity with real-world making.
