Add movement, mechanics and interactivity to your cardboard creations with the Makedo Roto-Ring. This innovative expansion pack is designed to introduce turning, rotating and sliding motion into Makedo projects, making it easy to create wheels, propellers, spinning displays, moving creatures, drawbridges 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 Roto-Ring is the perfect addition to classrooms, STEM clubs, makerspaces and home learning environments looking to explore simple mechanisms and moving designs. Compatible with the wider Makedo cardboard construction system, it encourages learners to experiment with movement, engineering and problem solving through hands-on making. 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.
Add movement, mechanics and interactivity to cardboard creations with ease.
16 reusable Roto-Rings for adding movement, rotation and interactivity to cardboard projects.
Introduces engineering, mechanisms, motion, creativity and problem-solving skills.
STEM activities, Design & Technology lessons, makerspaces and project extensions.
By facilitating turning, rotating and sliding motions, the Roto-Ring opens up a whole new range of possibilities within cardboard construction. Learners can explore how moving parts work while designing creations that spin, roll, rotate and interact with the world around them.
Made from 100% recycled materials, the Roto-Ring encourages sustainable making while helping young makers investigate mechanical concepts through experimentation and hands-on construction. It’s an excellent way to add an extra layer of engineering and creativity to existing Makedo projects.
