Materials A makerspace is a space to think and be creative You can dedicate a space for your makerspace or make one as you need it You may already have many of the basic supplies for your makerspace You can purchase whatever else you need at a craft store or dollar store If you don’t have a dedicated area make a portable makerspace by organizing your supplies in boxes or plastic bins and pull them out when you want to create A note about patterns Many of the toys in this book use patterns or templates Trace the pattern cut the pattern and then place it on the material you want to cut out You can either tape it in place and cut both the pattern and material or trace around the pattern onto the material and then cut it out recyclables You can make many of the toys in this book with materials found around the house Save recyclables newspapers cardboard boxes mailing tubes cereal boxes tin cans and more to use in your craft projects Use your imagination and have fun A note about measurements Measurements are given in U S form with metric in brackets The metric conversion is rounded to make it easier to measure 4
