How to gift Makedo
Are you giving the gift of cardboard creativity this year? Try these top tips and you’ll be sculpting cardboard like a pro in no time!
Tip #1: Gather Cardboard
You can’t create without materials! The building block of every maketastic creation may already be in your home. So start saving clean cardboard otherwise destined for the recycle bin and you’ll be ready to make as soon as the present is unwrapped.
So you don’t let the cardboard cat out of the bag too early, make sure you have a story ready if your kids ask why you’re stockpiling the recycling!
Find out what types of cardboard (and other materials) work best with this quick guide.
Tip #2: Learn the Tools
Making is better when you do it together! Get the whole family involved and little makers will learn how the tools work by building alongside you. Plus, you’ll have big fun in the process. So grab a coffee, pop your feet up and watch our short how-to tutorials so you’re in the know when the family making begins.
Tip #3: Get Inspired!
You’ve got the cardboard, you’ve got the tools, now you just need one more ingredient: ideas!
The Makedo Hub is an ever-growing melting pot of creations from our Master Makers and our wonderful community. From games to costumes, castles to cars, you’ll never be short on inspiration for your next creation. Who knows, maybe one day your own big builds will be on there, inspiring others.
