Makedo SCRU+ 120 | Top Up Your Toolbox! 120 Piece Set | Connect 4 to 6 Layers of Cardboard | STEM and STEAM Educational Toys for Kids | at Home Play and Classroom Learning

The media could not be loaded. People are always floored when I throw a cardboard city party and teach their kids to use cardboard screws. They are without a doubt one of the best toys for kids and shouldn’t be a secret. I’ve reordered these 5 times because people love them so much.Usage : Twist them into cardboard. Done. This is usually easier if there is an existing hole to press them into. Adults can usually push them in and screw them with their hands, but for kids it’s much easier if they use the ‘cardboard wrench’ to pop a hole and then the hexagon bit to twist them in (even though most kids can twist the screw in with their hands once they get the screw stuck in the hole).These screws are pretty self-explanatory, but I’ve found that demonstrating how to use them and helping smaller kids (K-3) with their first few screws makes them much more likely to be able to do them on their own.Issues : I haven’t had any issues using these. They can be reused seemingly forever and they are very sturdy - I keep them in a box with other tools so heavy weights occasionally fall on loose screws but I’ve never had one damaged.

I run a children's arts and crafts table at a weekly neighborhood event. This set is great for a wide age range, and really allows a range of creative projects.

I have been telling EVERYONE I know about these! These are such a great tool and offers a great value. I love the other tools but this is perfect for my classroom without spending all of my dollars. My students can use them with ease and have built some pretty cool structures with them!

I've been using the Makedo Scru's for a few years in an elementary school setting. Kids love making with cardboard because it is fast and durable enough to make things that they can play with or in. I like that they are reusable, but cheap enough that if a student wants to take their work home I have no problem with it.As far as accessories go, in my opinion, the scoring tool is really amazing. The cutting part of the knife is only so-so. Students prefer using a CANARY style knife or heavy cardboard scissors. We have 3D printed some tools and screws with mixed results. You can use a 3D printed mini tool (from Thingiverse), but you should really go ahead and buy the screws themselves - they are slow to print and prone to breakage. The store bought ones are much easier to work with.

This is a great activity for kids!

I loved these.

The make do tools are money well spent. My experience is that it takes kids some time to open up to all the possibilities these tools present, but once they start, there is no end to the amount of creating they will accomplish. I use these in a multiage classroom.

Our grandson loves building with cardboard. I saw these at a build event at a local library and knew i had to get them. Easily holds the cardboard together. And reusable.
