They loved it. I'm also the cub master of a cub scout pack. In the Tiger rank (1st graders), they have to design and build a project. I thought how perfect would a large MakeDo kit be for a group of 1st graders. I purchased the Makedo Invent kit. The cub scout den loved it. They made multiple projects out of recycled cardboard. ## Frequently Bought Together - Makedo Invent | Upcycled Cardboard Construction Toolkit in Large Toolbox (360 Pieces) | STEM + STEAM Educational Toys for Classroom Learning | Resuable Tools for Boys and Girls Age 5+ - Makedo Scru 180 | Top-Up Your Tool Kit and Connect Up to 3 Layers of Cardboard | at Home Play and Classroom Learning | STEM and STEAM Educational Toys | Reusable Tools for Boys and Girls Age 4+ - Makedo Tool-Case | Stylish and Eco-Friendly Storage Solution for Up to 300 Scrus or 20 Tools | for All Ages and Versatile for All Various Craft Supplies --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/309353169-invent-upcycled-cardboard-construction-toolkit-in-small-toolbox-360-pieces](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/309353169-invent-upcycled-cardboard-construction-toolkit-in-small-toolbox-360-pieces) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-21*
