Makedo sets.

Creativity – something we all want our children to exhibit.

‘Creativity is the currency of tomorrow. Creative people invent, problem solve, and see the world as full of potential. They ask the question ‘what if?’ that leads to world-changing innovations’ (Makedo)

Creative thinking is ever present in the notes my children bring home from school indicating how we can encourage creativity at home. My kids are brilliant at this – they try to creatively think there way out of homework every evening!

As a child, I remember making my own dolls house. These memories are so special, my mum would say all I ever wanted from the shops was scissors and sticky tape!

As a parent, I try and encourage creative thinking and this is so easy with Makedo sets, in fact, this is what Makedo sets are all about!

Various sets can be bought from this award winning company– the new set being the ‘Box Props’ which can be used by children as young as 4 yrs. Inside a Makedo packet you will find child friendly screws, saws and various attachments to enable your child to make interesting items from cardboard boxes and other recycled home products.

‘Makedo™ construction kits nurture children’s intrinsic curiosity and imagination with their range of creative making projects based around the greatest toy of all – the cardboard box’ (Makedo)

Give the gift of Makedo this Christmas and sit back on Boxing-day and watch your children turn the empty boxes from santa’s toys into a plane, house, animal or even a robot!

Available from   http://mymakedo.com/ and other online retailers.
