Q: Do I need glue or tape?
No, the plastic screws hold the cardboard together on their own, and they can be backed out and reused.
45K2073 - Makedo Cardboard-Building System
It's often said that children can have as much fun with a box as they do with the toy that came in it, and that's precisely the idea behind the Makedo cardboard building kit. This is one of the most creative gift ideas we’ve seen. Besides its great play value, this Makedo kit has practical uses, such as making models of future projects.
Neater than glue, safer than staples and sturdier than tape, the broad plastic cardboard screws suit small fingers and will form fixed or rotating joints, so wheels turn and doors swing.
This 50-piece kit comes with 36 short screws, 12 long ones, a plastic driver and a safe-edged plastic saw for shaping cardboard. The shorter 1/2" screws join up to three layers of 1/8" corrugated cardboard, the longer 3/4" screws join up to six layers or heavier stock, and a rounded awl tip on the saw handle punches tidy starter holes.
The kit also includes a foldable cardboard tool carrier to keep the lot together. An expansion set of screws is also available separately.
Recommended for ages 5 and up.
Not available for shipment to Québec.
