Makedo Toolkit

Makedo Toolkit is a reusable set of tools for creative cardboard construction. The toolkit holds a Safe-saw, a Scrudriver, twenty-one Scru connectors and seven Scru XL connectors in a resealable pouch. With these three tool types, children from the age of four can cut cardboard, punch holes and join layers securely. Scissors, blades and tape place safety and function limits on young makers, so the toolkit was developed to remove those limits.

Gla Gla

When creating a distinctly Croatian souvenir for the island of Krk designers came up with a puzzle teaching the players ancient Glagolitic scripture as it appears on the Baska stone tablet (dating back to 1100 AD).
