Materials and care

Crafted from 10mm thick honeycomb cardboard, our pods are lightweight yet ultra-sturdy—perfect for big builds and endless play. The durable, eco-friendly design makes them easy to assemble, take apart, and rebuild in new creative ways.  Kraft one side, white the other - you choose which way you build!  

🔹 Keep It Dry – While our honeycomb cardboard is strong, it’s not a fan of puddles, rain, or sticky juice spills. If it does get a splash, gently dab it dry and let it air out.
🔹 Feet on the Floor, Please! – These creations are built for big imaginations, not big feet! Walking, climbing, or standing on them might squash the fun.
🔹 Indoor Adventures Only – Your structures love cozy spaces like playrooms and living rooms. If they go outside, make sure they have a dry, sheltered spot to stay safe.
🔹 Store with Care – Need to pack away your masterpiece? Store the pieces flat in a dry space, and they’ll be ready for the next build-a-thon!
