Build Outside the Box: Introducing…Linkets

By Rob G. at 12:00 pm

Cardboard boxes aren’t just trash. To children they’re clubhouses, fortresses, and hiding places. Reclaim these boxes and foster your youngins’ creativity with Linkets. These colorful connectors allow kids ages 6 and up to attach cardboard pieces in imaginative ways. Since Linkets rotate from 0 to 90 degrees, the possibilities are endless.

When his son Matt built a cardboard spaceship in the living room, Michael Muscarella realized that kids love to build. He imagined a solution that would pique Matt’s creativity and eliminate the need for hot glue, staples, or other wasteful materials. With the help of the Quirky Design Staff and over 445 influencers, Michael and Matt’s idea became Linkets. You can check out the finished product in the Upcoming section now!
