Love LEGO products? Love building stuff? You may want to check out Edo, a company that’s manufacturing DIY cardboard bricks/blocks that can be transformed into pretty much anything. Remember those popular Melissa & Doug jumbo blocks? Yeah, like that, only each block includes LEGO-like square bumps that fit together for extra support and staying power. If assembled correctly, the micro-corrugated cardboard blocks can also hold up to 100lbs. Learn more on their Kickstarter page!

Awesome building possibilities include a Tyrannosaurus, a fort, a supercar and pretty much anything else you can imagine—plus you can always build cute functional stuff like a nightstand for the older kids. They blocks will come in white and brown (easy to color with markers) and will be sold in packs of 25, 100, 500 and beyond (don’t worry…they’re shipped flat). As a last bonus, these blocks are 100% recyclable! We hope this project gets funded.
