Had to wait quite a while for this to come.
Had to wait quite a while for this to come. They saw or knife was too hard to use so mom had to help with scissors or a box cutter. But the girls (ages 7, 6 & 4) have had fun making a backpack and a great house for their cat. Kitty loves to hide from them!!

This has been a great gift for my oldest girl. She is already creative and has been making things with cardboard. This make that building process easier and more fun. Plus the screws are reusable so even if what she built brakes she can keep using them to build the next project. It was a great gift for our kid.

We bought this as a gift for our 5 year old son. He loves to build and create and I thought it likely the perfect fit. It was a hit! As soon as he opened it he was busily sawing, poking, and building. His teenaged brother joined in and his little brother too (with a little more supervision). Then one of his sisters came to try. They shared the tools, and there were plenty of screws. So far, this has been a great purchase!

Prepare for a construction zone takeover with these kids cardboard tools set! Not only are they safer than a pillow fort in a marshmallow factory, but they also unleash the wild imaginations of mini builders everywhere.

First off, let's talk safety. These cardboard wonders are safe and gentle, ensuring that even the clumsiest little builders won't cause any chaos. Say goodbye to accidental toe stubs and hello to endless hours of constructive play without a single boo-boo in sight!

Now, onto the fun factor. Picture this: your living room transformed into a bustling construction site, complete with pint-sized architects wielding their trusty cardboard screwdrivers and saws. The only thing getting demolished here is boredom!

But wait, there's more! These tools are like Swiss Army knives for creativity. From building towering skyscrapers to fashioning makeshift forts, the possibilities are as endless as a toddler's energy supply.

So, if you're looking to unleash the inner Bob the Builder in your little one while keeping safety a top priority, these kids cardboard tools are an absolute must-have.

This is a brilliant product. My boys have enjoyed the junk modelling without reams and reams of sellotape.
It took a while for the children to get the hang of the saw, there’s definitely a technique but the creations are endless. Would highly recommend

Très bien. Il faut définir ce que l'on veut faire au début et aider l'enfant à conceptualiser son modèle. Dans un premier temps les laisser découper et assembler sans but pour se familiariser avec le matériel.
Jouet très créatif et finalement la matériau de base ne coûte rien c'est du carton de récup !

Ich habe dieses Set gekauft, da mein Sohn gern mit Pappe und Klebeband bastelt. Da ich die Plastikvetschwendung nicht länger mit ansehen wollte, habe ich nach einer Alternative gesucht und wurde fündig.

Also dieses Spielzeug ist wohl das Beste seit Langem! Meine beiden Söhne (1 und 4 Jahre) lieben es damit zu spielen. Der Kleine schnibbelt erfreut die Kartons klein und sticht Löcher hinein (alles natürlich im Hochstuhl) und der Große schraubt ein Tierchen nach dem nächsten.

Die Verarbeitung ist toll. Die Verletzungsgefahr bei nahezu 0%. Hieran werden sie sicher lang Freude haben! Würde ich immer wieder kaufen :D
