The Craft Table

Build a tiny town.

Each kit folds together with no glue and no tools. They decorate it, play in it, and (fair warning) refuse to put it away.

How it works

Let the tiny magic begin.

Follow these simple steps to set up your house and let the tiny magic begin.

An open kit box showing the folded panels inside

01. Unbox the magic.

Gently remove all the parts from the box. Give it an extra glance - no one likes to be left behind. (This is your calm-before-the-craft moment.)

02. Lay the foundation.

Place the cobblestone base on a flat surface. Any table will do - bonus points if it's not sticky from breakfast.

03. Build your base.

Grab the fairy house building panel and fold to align the tabs at the bottom with the holes in the cobblestone base.

Crafter Tip: The star symbol on the building goes at the front - it will match up with the star on the base.

04. Lock it in.

Place the roof on top to lock everything into place. Interior tabs will tuck inside of the house for added support.

05. Decorate your heart out.

Type A crafters: Assist your child in placing items with architectural accuracy.

Type B crafters: Hand over the sticker sheets and embrace the chaos.

Either way, doing great.

06. Start playing - imagination required.

Fold the cardstock accessories along the creased lines (a little adult help goes a long way!). Your tiny town is now open for visitors.

Playhouses

The playhouse that started it all.

Our story

Friends since childhood, family by choice.

Before Make It Cute®, there were three best friends in a small Pennsylvania neighborhood. We built forts, played dentist, ran grocery stores, and attended a few cat weddings. We didn't have a lot of stuff, but we did have room to imagine.

When we became moms within months of each other, we went looking for toys our kids would actually play with, that we'd feel good bringing home. We couldn't find both, so we made them ourselves.

If we wouldn't bring it home to our own six, we don't make it.

FAQ

Go ahead, ask us anything.

We've been in the group chat for thirty years. We're used to questions.

What ages are your products for?

Craft kits are made for ages 4 and up, and our playhouses for ages 2 and up. Every product lists its age on the box and on its product page.

Do I need glue or tools?

Nope. Our craft kits fold together with no glue and no tools, and our playhouses set up in a few simple pieces.

What are they made of?

Mostly sturdy paper and cardboard. Our rule: sustainable materials first, recycled second, and plastic only when safety requires it.

Are they safe?

Yes. Our products are tested to toy safety standards, including ASTM F963.

Where else can I buy Make It Cute?

You can find us on Amazon and at Barnes & Noble, and soon somewhere you probably already go every week. 👀
