Yo Ho Ho lets go!

Like most children Z and S love pirates, so when we were sent these great Makedo kits the first thing they wanted to build was a pirate ship. We carefully placed lots of boxes into a vague ship shape and used the special tools and connectors to fix them in place.

Then we made an attempt to paint it. I feel I have to point out that my middle daughter chose her own outfit that day.

They we played.

I think Makedo is a great concept. The girls had great fun designing and building our pirate ship. They needed a bit of help with the connectors, but loved making the holes for me.

We are just waiting for some more boxes for Z to have a go. He has big plans to make a rocket.

You can see the corner connectors here.

Makedo is based on a very simple and reusable connector system. The system is comprised of Re-clips to connect with; Lock-hinges to hinge with; and a handy Safe-saw tool to enable kids to safely punch holes and saw through all kinds of materials.
