Makedo Scru 180 | Reusable Cardboard Screws Refill, Connects Up to 3 Layers | Top Up Your Toolbox, Twist In and Out with the Scru-Driver | Screen-Free STEM + STEAM Educational Toy | Reusable, Kids Age 4+

The tools and scrus are just as good as they say. Top quality, effective, and makes a shockingly sturdy connection between cardboard sheets. Worth the extra money!

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'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.

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.

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.

Great product my twin 6 year old boys build and build and build all will recyclable materials and they really learn how to literally think outside the box. Super safe. Very easy to use. Great product!

I bought these to use in my preschool classroom. The children love to use them. They are easy to use. It adds a whole new level to box building creations.

Kreativ und nachhaltig

I love this!!! Screws held so well and enabled us to create so much more than you ever could with packing tape. Amazing the bond they created. Would love to see some longer screws for joining multiple boxes and potentially even brackets for strengthening areas that cardboard doesn’t meet the standard.

Trouvé ça pour construire la maquette grandeur nature en carton d'un meuble. C'est génial, il faut obligatoirement le tourne vis qui va avec (qui peut s'acheter tout seul) ... On commence par percer toutes les couches de cartons avec le côté pointu du tourne vis, puis on visse et ça fixe toutes les couches ensembles Je pense que comme animation pour des enfants en primaire ça doit être parfait... gardez vos cartons ikea !

Excellent quality and well made connector screws for joining together cardboard for modelling. Very safe and strong used by Grandson at his birthday building party. Great value for money. Very pleased with the purchase thank you.

Unser Kind baut wundervolle Dinge damit!
