Play and Learn with Makedo. Box Prop Toys!
We were lucky enough to try out the Makedo Transport Roadster several months ago which was a product of recyclable polypropylene attachments that you can use on any cardboard box to create different props. Brook had such a blast with her car that I was delighted to try out the Aeroplane Guided Kit as a perfect holiday gift. This company is getting quite popular and it is hard to keep up with all their latest catalog products, so be sure to check out their website for creating free imagination kits or getting a guided kit like this one to make creating a prop that much easier.
The Makedo Aeroplane (yes, it is spelled that way since it is not an American product) is also a product of reuse and transformation for kids that also focus on imagination and creativity. Makedo’s company is all about reusing and recycling and that aligns right with our family’s goals to not leave a (big) negative impact on our Earth. This is all about creating your own personalized box vehicle with recyclable polypropylene attachments. You supply your own box (ahhh, one less thing for our recycle bin), the attachments from Makedo magnificently transforming a piece of cardboard into a real airplane. The attachments are quite strong and use screws and grips that create a strong reinforcement for your plane. Our daughter plays quite rough with her toys and has yet to tear any attachment off! Best part? You can decorate with your own artwork (not included) and my daughter, the Sticker Monster, decided stickers were also the way to go. I foresee a lot of use out of this product and when we are done, we can recycle the cardboard and polypropylene plastic so it can be re-used again. Awesome! Psst – the Space Pod looks AMAZING!

We had a box house that lasted for like 3 years. The kids had so much fun in it.
Nothing compares to playing with the box… even better when it’s meant to be played with.
Looks fun.
In our house cats would enjoy it even more than kids as boxes are always The Best!
My daughter creates a whole world inside a box. Lol. She would love this!! I kept a big box and let her get inside and draw in it. She had more fun then shes ever had with her toys. Makedo Aeroplane looks like a fantastic toy though!!
