Makit and their original Make-A-Plate® kit have been providing family fun for almost 4 decades. In fact, they mold more than 1 million plates a year!
Each plate made is unique and personal.
Makit began as the creation of Bob Hodges in 1969. One day a neighbor, who was a teacher said, “Wouldn’t it be fantastic to capture kids’ artwork on something useful, instead of it falling off the refrigerator and throwing it out?” With a background in plastics and dinnerware manufacturing Bob saw an opportunity to create a craft medium that children and parents would love. The Make A Plate was born. Schoolteachers across the country continue to use our products for class art projects and family traditions have sprung up as generations create designs that become treasured heirlooms.
