One of the most satisfying ways to support a child’s interest in making things is by giving them the right tools — ones that are both safe and exciting. The ChompSaw strikes that balance perfectly. At first glance, it may look like a simple cardboard cutter, but there’s much more to it. It’s a device that gives kids the confidence to create, introduces them to hands-on skills, and offers a real tool experience — minus the danger.
Developed by ChompShop, The ChompSaw is a motorized tool designed specifically to cut cardboard. But what sets it apart is how it makes this process completely safe for kids. All moving parts are safely enclosed inside, so there’s no risk of cuts or injuries. It’s recommended for kids aged 5 and up and can be used comfortably at home under supervision or in classroom and maker space settings.
More Than Just Cutting
The ChompSaw is not just a cutting tool — it’s a gateway to creativity. It comes with a hole punch and a scoring tool that allow kids to add detail, shape, and structure to their projects. Boxes, models, robots, entire cardboard cities — anything is possible when the right tool meets an active imagination.
What takes the experience even further is the digital companion platform called the Learning Hub. Available to every ChompSaw user, it features age-appropriate project ideas, step-by-step guides, and tutorial videos. It’s not just a manual — it’s a source of inspiration for kids who don’t know where to start, and a resource for parents and teachers who want to guide the process.
Safe, Healthy, and Sustainable
The ChompSaw is not only functional, but also a healthy and environmentally responsible choice. It’s made from recyclable polypropylene and contains no phthalates or PFAS. Powered by a standard 100–120V outlet, it’s simple to operate and versatile enough to use indoors or outdoors.
In the end, The ChompSaw is one of those rare tools that makes real-world skills accessible to kids while still keeping safety front and center. For adults, cardboard might be just something to throw away. But in the hands of a child — with the right tool — it can become a robot, a fortress, or even an entire imaginary world. The ChompSaw is what opens that door.
