Mini & Me Maker Kits
Build it big.
Build it little.
Build it together.
Every Buildmate kit gives the adult a satisfying detailed build and the child a simple version they can truly own. Not a project you help them finish—a project you each build together.
This week's challenge
Parent build vs. kid build—who did it better?
Two real builds
A detailed adult build and a simplified child build designed as one pair.
Ready when you are
STLs, printable instructions, certificates, and a build-battle prompt.
Proudly theirs
Give each builder a finish worth showing off and a memory worth keeping.
Made for both of you
One mission.
Two makers.
Your kid gets choices, ownership, and a finish they can call their own. You get the satisfying detail you were hoping for.
