Makedo defines itself by its reusability. Its core function, by virtue of its reuse, is to enable repeated reuse of so many other materials and objects. In addition, the constructions and creations made using Makedo products are inherently designed for disassembly, allowing their constituent parts to continue through their own product life cycle at end of life – a quality not shared by their sticky-taped and glued brethren.

Makedo is about sustainability, imagination, creativity, community and play - but most of all fun!

Using the materials around them, kids enjoy the open ended possibilities as their playful creativity is set free.

This kit contains enough bits for one person to make three big things, or three people to make something really big!

The kit includes: 165 reusable pieces - 73 pins, 73 clips, 17 lock hinges and 2 safe saws; as well as guided instructions and an inspirational poster to kick start the imagination and creativity! Building time ranges from 20 minutes to many hours, it really depends on what you are making!

This gift is suitable for ages 5 and up.

(Warning: Choking hazard - small parts. Not for children under 3 years).
