About

Eco-friendly, STEM-inspired children’s toys you can build yourself. Each of our kits has a unique function and provides hours of fun for children aged 4+.

Build Your Own are the happy creators of an award-winning range of eco-friendly, STEM-inspired children’s toys that you can build yourself.

Our innovative kits encourage children to immerse themselves in the fun world of science and exploration, helping to reduce screen-time and bring families together to create rich memories.

Each premium paper and board kit is constructed using slot-together techniques to create a fun, tactile and robust toy. No glue, no mess, no fuss. Everything you need is provided in the kit, and the step-by-step videos on our website provide helpful assembly tips too.

Proudly designed in UK by our brilliant team of paper engineers, each product is made from high-quality, sustainable materials, with minimal plastics used both in the designs and packaging.

We love to spark curious young imaginations through our fun and growing range of eco-friendly toys, and hope to inspire budding engineers of the future.

Press comments

  • Evening Standard

    Pinball Advent Calendar - Whether you want to spend quality time with your kids or you like the idea of a slow build to enjoy on Christmas Day this pinball machine-making kit hits all the right notes

  • Grazia

    Unicorn - We loved this toy because, for an hour, our little ones were so hyper focused on their build that we were actually able to drink a hot cup of tea. This set is easy enough for a four-year-old to completely independently and engaging enough to hold their interest.

  • Made for Mums

    Plane Launcher - It takes about 1 hour to assemble the launcher – which, thrillingly, has power-indicator settings and can, if you get your aerodynamics right, propel paper planes up to 20 metres away.

  • BBC Sky at Night

    Telescope - This cardboard telescope kit is a great project for kids to get involved in and features all the lenses, mirrors and parts needed to build your own telescope for observing the night sky. Plus, its build-your-own design is a great way of teaching young astronomers how telescopes work.”
