Makedo - Junk Art Genius
I always loved finding bit of ‘junk’ around the house and turning it into a piece pf art, and now I’m delighted in the fact that my children love to do the same. However, when they return home form school with their ‘art work’ and it’s so big that it hardly fits in the car, it can pose at sort of a problem! why not turn their junk into all sorts of fun toys that can be played with again and again! Let me introduce you to Makedo.
New to the UK, makedo is an eco friendly derived from Australia. It simply turns trash into treasure as children of all ages transform packaging into creative play objects - the best junk art project ever! These can come in the shape of cars, creatures, play spaces, robots – whatever their imagination desires – the end results are amazing and the kiddies will go mad for it!
What Makedo does is to use a reusable connector system making it easy to craft creations using recyclable materials such as boxes, plastic containers, foam and fabric scraps. The system is made up 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. It’s such an engaging crafts project and one that the whole family can enjoy. With ranges geared at both beginner and the enthusiast makers, there really is something for everyone in the Makedo collection. Also, when you have completed your craft project and played with it, just simply pull it apart and reuse the connectors to make something else!
So, if you love to make play objects, kid’s costumes, furniture, decorations for the home and well, just about anything you can think of from the materials around you the Makedo is the thing for you! Makedo is available at Selfridges, the Tate Modern and other quality toy and gift retailers across the UK as well as online at http://www.makedo.com.au priced from £3.99 to £20.99
