These intuitive cardboard construction tools from Makedo provide kids with tools to craft forts, costumes, castles,
boats, planes—you name it—from cardboard boxes. Kids can cut cardboard with the
SafeSaw, make creases with the Fold Roller, and use the Scru-Driver and Scrus
to connect pieces. The different sets contain the same elements in different
quantities to accommodate smaller or larger groups of kids. You can also buy
tools individually. The SafeSaw is strong enough to cut cardboard while still
being kid-safe with rounded edges. Tools not included in the sets are the Roto
Ring, perfect for rotating movement, and the Spin Hinge, ideal for adding doors
and windows. No cardboard included.
