Makedo Cardboard Construction Tool - Roto-Ring

Add a clever twist to your cardboard creations. The Makedo Roto-Ring is a specialty tool that lets makers create rotating, pivoting and swinging elements with ease. With a simple twist-and-lock mechanism, kids can build cardboard designs with moving parts - think windmills, gears, doors and spinning signs - all from upcycled boxes.

No batteries, no plastic throwaway parts - just a smart, reusable connector system made for hands-on imagination. Pair it with any Makedo kit or use it to expand your child’s next cardboard project.

Developmental value
The Makedo Roto-Ring adds a layer of design complexity that challenges spatial reasoning and encourages kids to think in systems. It promotes engineering thinking - understanding how parts connect, rotate and impact function - while refining fine motor skills and patience. It also supports creative risk-taking as kids try out real-world mechanisms using accessible materials.
