A great concept: get kids building with cardboard – safely and creatively – using the Makedo Discover kit. It includes 123 pieces (tools + connectors) for crafting castles, creatures, and whatever else their imagination comes up with. Great for classrooms or busy households.
Comes highly recommended from a friend.
Larger and smaller kits also available.
I was gonna suggest zipties.
already printing, though thanks for the tip!
Nice, I might have to as well to prep for school holidays
I have these kids for my kids and they love it. But after I got them, I found that Bunnings also have these I-Create range: https://www.bunnings.com.au/i-create-brainstormer-kit-60-pac…
The design is near identical but Bunnings kit actually has more components. I highly suspect that Bunnings got makedo to release a special range for them.
Where do you get giant clean cardboard if you're not getting it through large item packaging?
Try your local bunnings, ikea, costco, kerbside pickup
What age is this good for?
The serrated knife included is pretty useless, I get it's for kids but even my 6yo preferred using scissors to cut the cardboard than struggling with the included knife.
Overall though it's a good kit and good creative fun for the kids.
what projects would you recommend
You can pretty much 3D print all of the tools & accessories
And if you are looking at these Makedo kits, you may be interested in picking up a 3D printer like the Bambu Labs currently on sale to do a whole heap of a lot more arts & craft projects.
Even not for cardboard craft, this perforation tool makes recycling boxes much easier without using stanley knives
